Prof. Mulgrew is visiting IIT Bhubaneswar for a week to carry out collaborative research work in the area of distributed signal processing with Prof. G. Panda and two of his PhD students : Mr. Trilochan Panigrahi and Mr. Upendra Sahoo. During his stay, he will deliver seminar talk in the area of distributed signal processing and will hold in depth discussions on the ongoing British Council sponsored UKERI research project. Prof. Panda and three of his research students also visited University of Edinburgh for the same purpose last summer.

Prof. Mulgrew received his B.Sc. degree in 1979 from Queen's University Belfast. After graduation, he worked for 4 years as a Development Engineer in the Radar Systems Department at Ferranti, Edinburgh. From 1983-1986 he was a research associate in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Edinburgh. He was appointed to lectureship in 1986, received his Ph.D. in 1987, promoted to senior lecturer in 1994 and became a reader in 1996. The University of Edinburgh appointed him to a Personal Chair in October 1999 (Professor of Signals and Systems). He currently holds the Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Signal Processing. His research interests are in adaptive signal processing and estimation theory and in their application to radar and communications systems. Prof. Mulgrew is a co-author of three books on signal processing.
