In 2005, Anthony was awarded the prestigious Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in the Software and Technology category in Northern California. He is the Chairman of the Board of Blinkx, Inc. Anthony also serves on the Advisory Board of Santa Clara University's Center for Science, Technology and Society and on the Board of the Alameda County Community Food Bank. Anthony earned a B.A. in English from Santa Clara University.
Dr Nick Kingsbury
Nick Kingsbury received an honours degree in 1970 and a Ph.D. degree in 1974, both in electrical engineering, from the University of Cambridge. From 1973 to 1983 he was a Design Engineer and subsequently a Group Leader with Marconi Space and Defense Systems, Portsmouth, specializing in digital signal processing and coding, as applied to speech coders, spread spectrum satellite communications, and advanced frequency hopping radio systems. Since 1983 he has been Director of Studies in Information Engineering at Trinity College Cambridge, and from 1986 a University Lecturer in Signal Processing at the University of Cambridge. In October 2000 he was appointed to a Readership in the Department of Engineering at Cambridge. In recent years he has developed Dual-Tree Complex Wavelets, and has investigated a wide range of their applications in Image Processing and the analysis of 3D datasets, such as video sequences and medical imagery. He is a member of the IEEE.
Professor William J. Fitzgerald
William J. Fitzgerald is the Professor of Applied Statistics and Signal Processing in the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, England. He works on Bayesian inference applied to signal and data modelling. He is also interested in nonlinear signal processing, image restoration and medical imaging, extreme value statistics, bio-informatics, data mining and data classification. He is particularly interested in the applications of Sequential Monte Carlo (particle filtering) methods to signal processing and communication problems. He is also a Fellow of Christ's College, Cambridge.
Professor Peter Rayner
Professor Peter Rayner M.A. Ph.D. was formerly Head of the Signal Processing and Communications Research Group at Cambridge University and is now an Emeritus Professor of the University and Emeritus Fellow of Christ's College. He founded the Research Group in 1969 in the very early days of digital processing and the Group has gone on to achieve an international reputation in many diverse aspects of signal, image and data processing. His own research interests are in statistical data modelling and Bayesian inference. He is author of some 200 technical papers and has co-authored a textbook and written numerous book chapters. He has been a member of the Technical Committees of many major international conferences and has contributed a number of keynote addresses. He is a Member of the IEEE.
