About the Society
The IEEE Signal Processing
Society (SPS) Pittsburgh Chapter was dormant for past few years. Revival of IEEE
SPS aims to conduct variety of meetings aimed at the diverse interests of the Pittsburgh area and
western PA region. The Chapter hopes to
provide information, support, and networking services to the signal processing
community whether they be educators, students, scientists, engineers or simply
people seeking knowledge about this rapidly growing sector of the Pittsburgh corporate
makeup. The IEEE SPS Pittsburgh Chapter
operates under the IEEE Pittsburgh Section which hosts other local engineering
society chapters such as Power, Industry applications, EMB, Nanotechnology, and
Computers. We encourage membership in the IEEE, but we welcome all to our
general technical meetings
