Alex Granieri
Lecturer, Design Courses
BioPrior to joining the Design Group in the Mechanical Engineering Department, I spent almost 20 years in industry working primarily in the fields of Sustainable Mobility, Robotics and Consumer Electronics. From building prototype vehicles at Tesla to the original Alexa devices at Amazon and high altitude aircrafts along the way at Facebook, I’ve had the privilege to contribute to many “firsts” in my career. I am passionate about project-based learning and creating opportunities for students to be part of crafting their own educational journey.

Robert M Gray
Alcatel-Lucent Professor in Communications and Networking, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy current research falls in the intersection of Shannon information theory and signal processing. In particular, I am interested in the theory and design of block codes and sliding-block (or stationary or time-invariant) codes for data compression and their relation to each other. Block codes are far better understood and more widely used, but their lack of stationarity causes difficulties in theory and artifacts in practice. Very little is known about the design of good sliding-block codes, but the problem is known to be equivalent to the design of entropy-constrained simulators of complex random processes. I also do research in the history of information theory and signal processing, especially in the development of speech processing systems and real time signal processing.
