SHARADH RAMASWAMY

Brief Biography
 I was born and raised in the once sleepy, now booming, little town of Madras, in the province of Tamil Nadu, India where I received schooling at Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan. I later studied at the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, where I received B.Tech and M.Tech degress in Electrical Engineering. I am currently pursuing a PhD in signal processing in the ECE Department of the University of California, Santa Barbara. I work with Prof. Kenneth Rose in the Signal Compression Laboratory.

Research Interests

Quantizer design and applications of source coding in databases (main research page)
Data-mining algorithms
Signal processing for sensor networks

Other Activities

When I am not working on my doctoral research, I keep myself busy by
actively promoting Indian classical music with Raagmala
volunteering for the Santa Barbara chapter of ASHA
RJing for the India Show on KCSB 91.9 FM!
jamming (Rock and Indian film music) on my guitar with friends!
