Yoram Bresler received the B.Sc. (cum laude) and M.Sc. degrees from the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, in 1974 and 1981 respectively, and the Ph.D degree from Stanford University, in 1986, all in Electrical Engineering.
From 1974 to 1979 he served as an electronics engineer in the Israeli Defense Force. From 1979 to 1981 he was a consultant for the Flight Control Lab at the Technion, Israel, developing algorithms for autonomous TV aircraft guidance. From 1985 to 1987 he was a Research Associate at the Information Systems Laboratory at Stanford University, where his research involved sensor array processing and medical imaging. In 1987 he joined the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he is currently a Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Bioengineering Program, and Research Professor at the Coordinated Science Lab. In 1995-96 he was a Visiting Associate Professor at the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology. His current research interests include multi-dimensional and statistical signal processing and their applications to inverse problems in imaging and sensor array signal processing, and to diagnostic and scientific visualization.
Dr. Bresler was an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions for Image Processing in 1992-93, and a member of the IEEE Image and Multidimensional Signal Processing Technical Committee in 1994-98, and currently is on the editorial board of Machine Vision and Applications, . He is a Fellow of the IEEE. In 1988 and 1989 he received the Senior Paper Awards from the IEEE Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing society. He is the reciepient of a 1991 Presidential Young Investigator Award of the National Science Foundation, a 1995-6 Technion Fellowship, and a 1998 Xerox Senior Award for Faculty Research. He was named a University Scholar in 1999, and appointed an Associate in the Center for Advanced Study of the University of Illinois in 2001-2.
