Awards:
IEEE Haraden Pratt Award
IEEE - Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
The IEEE Haraden Pratt Award was established in 1971 in honor of Haraden Pratt, then Director Emeritus of IEEE, who had given dedicated and distinguished service. As President, Treasurer, and then Secretary for 23 consecutive years, his service on the Board of Directors, including that of Director Emeritus, totaled 31 years. “For vision and leadership in improving IEEE operations and governance, and for building a stronger foundation for IEEE’s strategic future.”
SPIE Educator Award
SPIE - The international society for optics and photonics.
The SPIE Educator Award is given annually in recognition of outstanding contributions to optics education by an SPIE instructor or an educator in the field. "In recognition of the development of a comprehensive criteria for optical engineering in the undergraduate college curriculum and overseeing the implementation of ABET requirements used for accreditation of undergraduate (BS) degrees in optical engineeirng."
OSA Robert E. Hopkins Leadership Award
OSA - Optical Society of America
The Robert E. Hopkins Award recognizes an individual or group who has had a significant impact on the global optics and photonics community or an individual or group from the optics and photonics community who has had a significant impact on society as a whole stemming from non-research oriented activities. “For leadership and vision in furthering optics education and humanitarian purposes, including founding the first engineering school in Afghanistan, and his contributions to the global fight against terrorism as expressed in his activities in the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization.”

International Classification:
H03M 100
US Classification:

Abstract:
A method of converting an analog signal to a digital signal includes (a) filtering the analog signal to the range 0f f ; (b) sampling the filtered signal at a rate f f , where f is the sampling frequency, f =2f is the Nyquist frequency of the sampled signal, and f f /2 is the constrained signal bandwidth; (c) converting the sampled signal to an optical sampled signal: (d) converting the optical sampled signal from a temporal signal to a spatial signal; (e) illuminating a smart pixel array with the spatial signal; (f) processing the spatial signal with an error diffusion neural network to produce a 2-D binary image; and (g) averaging rows and columns of the 2-D binary image using a digital low pass filter and a decimation circuit.
