Philip A. Chou (SM'00) was born in Stamford, CT, on April 17, 1958. He received the B.S.E. degree from Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, in 1980, and the M.S. degree from the University of California, Berkeley, CA, in 1983, both in electrical engineering and computer science, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University, Stanford, CA, in 1988.
Since 1977, he has worked for IBM, AT&T Bell Laboratories, Princeton Plasma Physics Lab, Telesensory Systems, Speech Plus, Hughes, Xerox, VXtreme, and Microsoft, where he was involved variously in office automation, motion estimation in television, optical character recognition, LPC speech compression and synthesis, text-to-speech synthesis by rule, compression of digitized terrain, speech and document recognition, and video network communication. His research interests are pattern recognition, data compression, and speech, image, and video processing. In 1994–1995, he was a Consulting Associate Professor at Stanford University. Currently, he is with Microsoft Corporation, in Redmond, WA.
Dr. Chou serves on the Editorial Board of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION THEORY as an Associate Editor for source coding, and also serves on the IEEE Technical Committee for Image and Multidimensional Signal Processing (IMDSP). He is a Senior Member of the IEEE, a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Xi, and the IEEE Computer, Information Theory, Signal Processing, and Communications Societies, and was an active member of the MPEG Committee. He is the recipient, with Tom Lookabaugh and Robert M. Gray, of the 1993 Signal Processing Society Paper award.
