Who is Nirmal Bose?

Nirmal Bose was a professor in the Pennsylvania State University Electrical Engineering Department, from 1986 until his death. Before joining the Penn State faculty, he taught at Syracuse University and the University of Pittsburgh.

Bose was a world-renowned expert in multidimensional signals and systems theory. He investigated high resolution reconstructions of blurred and noisy images, and processing of noisy images. Nirmal Bose has been internationally recognized for his scientific papers and books including Applied Multidimensional Systems Theory, and Digital Filters: Theory and Applications. He coauthored the texts Multidimensional Systems: Progress, Directions and Open Problems, Neural Networks Fundamentals: with Graphs, Algorithms, and Applications, and Multidimensional Systems Theory and Applications. Bose was the founding Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal on Multidimensional Systems and Signal Processing and served as Associate Editor for The Journal of the Franklin Institute, Circuits, Systems, and Signal Processing, and IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems.

Bose received his B. Tech from IIT Kharagpur, M.S. from Cornell University and Ph.D. from Syracuse University, all in electrical engineering. Nirmal Bose was elected to be a Fellow of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 1981 for his contributions to multidimensional systems theory and circuits and systems education.
