Dr. Karam's current research interests are in the areas of image and video processing, compression, and transmission; visual quality assessment; human visual perception; multidimensional signal processing; error-resilient source coding; digital filter design; and bio-medical imaging.
Lina J. Karam received the B.E. degree in computer and communications engineering from the American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon, in 1989, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, in 1992 and 1995, respectively.
From 1991 to 1995, she was a graduate research assistant in
the Graphics, Visualization, and Usability (GVU) Center and then in the Department
of Electrical Engineering, Georgia Tech.
She worked at Schlumberger Well Services (Austin, TX) on problems related to
data modeling and visualization, and in the Signal Processing Department of AT&T Bell Labs (Murray Hill, NJ) on
problems in video coding during 1992 and 1994, respectively.
Prof. Karam is the recipient of an NSF CAREER Award. She served as the Chair of the IEEE
Communications and Signal Processing Chapters in Phoenix in 1997 and 1998. She also served as
an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing from 1999 to 2003 and of the IEEE Signal Processing
Letters from 2004 to 2006, and as a member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society's Conference Board from 2003 to 2005.
She is the lead guest editor of the IEEE Journal on Selected Topics in Signal Processing, Special Issue on Visual Media
Quality Assessment. She also co-founded two international workshops, VPQM (www.vpqm.org) and QoMEX (www.qomex.org),
in the area of media quality assessment. She is currently serving as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions
on Image Processing and as the Technical Program Chair (together with Thrasos Pappas) of the 2009 IEEE International
Conference on Image Processing. She is the General Chair (together with Ron Schafer) of the 14th IEEE Digital
Signal Processing Workshop and the 6th IEEE Signal Processing Education Workshop. She also serves on the editorial board of the Foundations and Trends in Signal Processing journal and on the IEEE Signal Processing Society's Technical
Directions Board. She is an elected member of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society's DSP Technical Committee and of the IEEE Signal Processing Society's IVMSP Technical Committee. She is a senior member of the IEEE and a member of the Signal Processing, Communications, and Circuits and Systems societies of the IEEE.
