Background

Soontorn Oraintara received the B.E. degree in telecommunications engineering from the King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL), Bangkok 1995. He received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering, respectively, from the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 1996 and Boston University in 2000. He was a research assistant in the Multirate DSP Lab at Boston University from 1997 to 2000. From May 1998 to May 2000, he was a summer intern and a consultant in the Advanced Development and Research Group at Ericsson Inc., Research Triangle Park, NC. He recently joined the University of Texas at Arlington as an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering. His research interests are in digital signal processing, multirate systems, wavelets and filter banks with application in communications, image/video compression and image restoration and reconstruction. Dr. Oraintara is a co-inventor (with Dr. Truong Nguyen and Ying-Jui Chen) of two patents on integer Discrete Cosine Transform and Integer Fast Fourier Transform. The first patent has received the Technology Development Award from Boston University's Community Technology Fund.
