(Redirected from Draft:Simon Godsill)

Simon John Godsill (born 2 December 1965) is professor of statistical signal processing at the University of Cambridge,[1] and a professorial fellow at Corpus Christi College.[2] He is also a member of the Centre for Science and Policy.[3] His main area of research is Bayesian statistics and stochastic sampling methodologies, particularly particle filtering.[4]

Education

[edit]

Godsill obtained both undergraduate and Ph.D. degrees from the Department of Engineering at Cambridge University, whilst a member of Selwyn College. He obtained a first class degree in the Electrical and Information Sciences Tripos. The title of his 1993 Ph.D. thesis was "The Restoration of Degraded Audio Signals"[5] and his Ph.D. supervisor was Peter Rayner, whom he shared with Michael Richard Lynch.

Career

[edit]

Godsill has published over 250 articles in peer reviewed journals,[6] along with the books Digital audio restoration: a statistical model based approach[7] and Compressed sensing & sparse filtering.[8]

Business interests

[edit]

Godsill is currently a director of CEDAR Audio Ltd,[9] a Cambridge-based company that applies Bayesian mathematics for purposes of noise reduction in audio data. In February 2005, the company received a Sci-Tech Academy Award (a 'Technical Oscar') for its services to the movie industry, and a stream of innovations appeared over the following years with corresponding recognition including induction into the Audio Technology Hall of Fame (2008), a Cinema Audio Society Award (2009). Godsill is also a director at Input Dynamics Ltd,[10] a Cambridge-based company that applies Bayesian techniques to touch screen technology. Godsill is involved with the research effort at BMLL Technologies,[11] a Cambridge spin-off working in the field of machine learning on the limit order book.
