Amir Said received the Engineer and Master degrees in Electrical Engineering
from the University of Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, and a Ph.D. degree in Computer
and Systems Engineering from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY.

Since 1998 he is with Hewlett-Packard Laboratories,
Palo Alto, CA, where he managed the Compression and Multimedia Technologies Project.
Currently he is a senior researcher, working on imaging, image and video coding, signal
processing, and security. Prior to joining HP he worked at IBM, and Iterated
Systems, and was an Assistant Professor at University of Campinas.

Dr. Said is Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing
(TIP),
Associate Editor of the SPIE - IS&T Journal of Electronic Imaging
(JEI),
and Co-chair of the 2005 SPIE IS&T Conference on Image and Video Communications and
Processing (IVCP).

In 1998 he received a Best Paper Award,
from the IEEE Signals and Systems Society, for the paper "A new fast and efficient
image codec based on set partitioning in hierarchical trees", co-authored with
William A. Pearlman.
(I guess we can say it was well received by the imaging community, since it
received 568 journal citations.)

|
In 1999 he received a Best Paper Award,
from the IEEE Signal Processing Society, for the paper "An image multiresolution
representation for lossless and lossy compression", co-authored with
William A. Pearlman.
(Idem, 113 journal citations.)
