More than ha lf the denizens of our planet have become both beneficiaries and victims o f the fruits of the broadly defined technologies known as digital and wire less. Though they have been twinned through the ubiquitous devices which h ave grown to dominate our consciousness\, their origins have little in com mon. Their merger has been completed through three eras of development: Th e scientific Innovation Era (1E)\, the system Implementation Era (2E) and the Exploitation Era (3E). The last has brought numerous valuable and unex pected benefits along with serious social challenges.\n\nAndrew Viterbi is a co-founder and retired Vice Chairman and Chief Technical Officer of Qua lcomm Incorporated. He spent equal portions of his career in industry and in academia as Professor in the Schools of Engineering and Applied Science \, first at UCLA and then at UCSD\, at which he is now Professor Emeritus. He is currently president of the Viterbi Group\, a technical advisory and investment company. He also serves as a Presidential Chair Visiting Profe ssor at the University of Southern California and as Distinguished Visitin g Professor at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. His principal research contribution\, the Viterbi Algorithm\, is used in most digital mo bile phones and digital satellite receivers\, as well as in such diverse f ields as data recording\, voice recognition and DNA sequence analysis. Mor e recently\, he concentrated his efforts on spread spectrum multiple acces s technologies for satellite and cellular wireless communication. Dr. Vite rbi has received numerous honors both in the U.S. and internationally. Amo ng these are eight honorary doctorates and four Academy memberships as wel l as the IEEE Medal of Honor\, the U.S. National Medal of Science\, the Fr anklin Medal and the Charles Stark Draper Prize of the National Academy of Engineering.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Andrew Viterbi\, \n\nAgenda: \nThe Armstr ong Memorial Lecture starts at 2 pm in the Davis Auditorium\, Columbia Uni versity.\n\nBldg: Davis Auditorium\, Schapiro (CEPSR) Building\, Columbia University\, 116 St and Broadway\, New York\, New York\, United States\, 1 0027 LOCATION:Bldg: Davis Auditorium\, Schapiro (CEPSR) Building\, Columbia Univ ersity\, 116 St and Broadway\, New York\, New York\, United States\, 10027 ORGANIZER:avw@ieee.org SEQUENCE:6 SUMMARY:Armstrong Memorial Lecture - Andrew Viterbi: Digital Wireless: Orig ins\, Evolution and Challenges URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/204210 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p align="justify">Dr. Andrew Viterbi\, Co-Fo under and retired Vice-Chairman and Chief Technical Officer of Qualcomm\, Inc.\, will give the 2019 Armstrong Memorial Lecture "Digital Wireless: Or igins\, Evolution and Challenges"&nbsp\; at the Davis Auditorium\, Columbi a University\, on Tuesday\,<strong> Oct. 15\, 2019</strong>\, at <strong>2 pm</strong>.
