Be fore that\, he received the Master of Engineering Science degree from the University of Melbourne\, Australia and the B.S. degree in Electrical Engi neering from the University of Engineering and Technology\, Lahore\, Pakis tan. After his PhD\, he worked on halftoning algorithms for inkJet printer s at Xerox Corporation and on digital camera image processing at the Sony US Research Center. Currently he is a Senior Research Manager at Apple Inc . where he leads a research group focused on the development of state of t he art algorithms for digital photography.\n\nDr. Baqai’s research and p roduct contributions span digital camera image processing\, machine learni ng\, computer vision\, stereoscopic image processing\, statistical signal processing\, digital printing\, and radar imaging. He has been the driving force behind several key technologies for Apple and Sony. His algorithms have been implemented in hardware\, firmware\, and software. Dr. Baqai’s innovations have shipped in more than a billion devices which are being u sed to capture trillions of images every year.\n\nDr. Baqai is a Fellow of the IEEE. He is a Deputy Editor in Chief (2023-present) of IEEE Transacti ons on Image Processing. Dr. Baqai sits on the IEEE Fellow Committee (2024 -present) and on IEEE SPS Image\, Video\, and Multidimensional Signal Proc essing Technical Committee (2020-present). He served as a Member of IEEE S PS Industry DSP Technology Standing Committee (2007-2014) and was Publicit y Co-Chair of 2012 IEEE Conference on Image Processing. Dr. Baqai has auth ored several peer-reviewed journal articles\, conference papers\, book cha pters\, and holds 40 issued US patents with more than 10 US patents pendin g.\n\nIn 2020\, the Purdue University Elmore Family School of Electrical a nd Computer Engineering conferred on him its Outstanding Electrical and Co mputer Engineer (OECE) award.
