Biosketch
Eve A. Riskin is the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Professor of Electrical Engineering, and Director of the ADVANCE Center for Institutional Change and has been on the faculty since 1990. Her research group is working in image and video compression. In collaboration with Professor Richard Ladner of Computer Science and Engineering, they are compressing video of American Sign Language using H.264. In addtion, they are developing constant-quality rate control algorithms.Honors
