Kamilov receives Pierre-Simon Laplace Early Career Technical Achievement Award
Ulugbek Kamilov won the 2024 Pierre-Simon Laplace Early Career Technical Achievement Award from the IEEE Signal Processing Society
Ulugbek Kamilov, an associate professor of electrical & systems engineering and of computer science & engineering at the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, won the 2024 IEEE Signal Processing Society Pierre-Simon Laplace Early Career Technical Achievement Award for major contributions to theory and practice in computational imaging.
The honor recognizes Kamilov’s research focused on developing new algorithms and mathematical insights for biomedical and scientific imaging applications including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), optical microscopy, computational photography and remote sensing.
The Pierre-Simon Laplace Early Career Technical Achievement Award is given each year by the IEEE Signal Processing Society, the world’s premier association for signal processing engineers and industry professionals. It honors an individual who, over a period of years in their early career, has made significant technical contributions to theory and/or practice in technical areas within the scope of the society, as demonstrated by publications, patents or recognized impact on the field, including but not limited to, a standard, a product or a technology trend.
As director of the Computational Imaging Group (CIG) in McKelvey Engineering at WashU, Kamilov leads a team pushing the boundaries of AI and signal processing, bridging theory with real-world applications in MRI and CT technology. He joined WashU in 2017 from Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, where he was a research scientist. He earned a doctorate in 2015 from the EPFL, Switzerland.
Kamilov has been invited to accept the award at the ICASSP 2025 ceremony in Hyderabad, India.
