Professor

José M. F. Moura

Trustee

Affiliated Member

  • Philip L. and Marsha Dowd University Professor
    at Carnegie Mellon University
  • Former President of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)

Biography

He is a distinguished leader in the fields of signal processing, graph signal processing, and data science. Currently serving as the Philip L. and Marsha Dowd University Professor at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), he has made transformative contributions to academia, research, and industry.

Prof. Moura earned his Doctor of Science (ScD) in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he also received his Electrical Engineering and Master’s degrees. He completed his undergraduate studies at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) in Lisbon, Portugal.

At CMU, Prof. Moura has been a cornerstone of innovation, holding roles such as the Founding Director of the CMU-Portugal Program, which fosters international collaboration in information and communication technologies. He has also served as the 2019 President and CEO of IEEE, the largest professional organization with its 450 thousand members, reflecting his leadership and influence in the global engineering community.

Prof. Moura’s research spans graph signal processing, deep learning, and advanced imaging techniques. He holds multiple patents, and his work has shaped the field of graph signal processing. His publications are widely cited.

He has published over 650 journal and conference papers, given over 250 invited lectures, keynotes, and conference plenaries. He holds 19 patents, two of which, with A. Kavcic, have been used in over 4 billion hard disk drives in about 60% of all computers sold since 2003, and that led to the largest intellectual property settlement of $750 Million, between CMU and a chip designer. He received several recognitions including the IEEE Signal Processing Society Technical Achievement Award and its Society Achievement Award, and CMU's Distinguished Professor of Engineering Award. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, the AAAS, and the US National Academy of Inventors, a corresponding member of the Portugal Academy of Sciences, and a member of the US National Academy of Engineers. He received honorary doctorates from Universidade de Lisboa and the University of Strathclyde, and the Grand Cross of the Order of Prince Henry. He received the IEEE Jack S. Kilby Medal for Signal Processing and the IEEE Haraden-Pratt Award.
