Grace Clark, Ph.D., IEEE Fellow, currently serves as a statistical signal processing consultant via her business, Grace Clark Signal Sciences, in Livermore, CA. For more than three decades, she served as a research scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Livermore, CA; and she retired in October 2013. She took two
sabbaticals from LLNL. From 2010-2012, she served as Visiting Research Professor in the Center for Cyber Warfare at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), Monterey, CA. During the year 1995, she served as a Research Associate in the Center for Image Processing and Integrated Computing (CIPIC) at the U. of California Davis. Dr. Clark has served as thesis advisor for 10 graduate students: 5 MSECE students at the Naval Postgraduate School, and 3 MSECE plus 2 Ph.D. ECE students at U. of California Davis. She earned BSEE and MSEE degrees from the Purdue U. Electrical Engineering Honors Program, W. Lafayette, IN, and the Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) from the U. of California Santa Barbara. Her technical expertise is in statistical signal/image processing, estimation, detection, pattern recognition/machine learning, sensor fusion, communication and control. She has contributed more than 220 publications on signal processing in acoustics, electromagnetics and particle physics. Her current research is in the areas of Cognitive Radar for Non-Gaussian Distributed Targets, Mobility Estimation for Mobile Ad Hoc Wireless Networks of Unmanned Vehicles, Feature Selection for Non-Gaussian Distributed Targets and Clock Synchronization for Underwater Communication Systems. Dr. Clark has received awards for signal processing contributions and teaching. She is a Fellow of the IEEE and a member of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA) Technical Council on Signal Processing in Acoustics, the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), Eta Kappa Nu and Sigma Xi.
