Athina Petropulu (born in Kalamata Greece) is a Greek electrical engineer, researcher and academic. She is Distinguished Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. She has made contributions in signal processing, wireless communications and networks, and radar systems. She received many awards for her work in these areas.

Education[edit]

Petropulu received her Diploma in Electrical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens in 1986. She then pursued her graduate studies at Northeastern University in Boston, earning her M.Sc. in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 1988 and her Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 1991 under the supervision of C. L. Max Nikias.[1][2]

Professional career[edit]

From 1992 to 2010, Petropulu was a professor in the ECE department at Drexel University. Then she joined the Rutgers ECE Department in 2010 as a professor, and served as chair of the department from 2010 to 2016.

As of 2024, Petropulu is a Distinguished Professor in Rutgers ECE. She held appointment as a visiting scholar at SUPELEC (1999-2000), Universite' Paris Sud, Princeton University (2007-2008) and University of Southern California.[3]

Petropulu is a Fellow of both IEEE and AAAS, and was elected as the president of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) in the term of 2022-2023. She is also a former Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing in the term of 2009-2011.

Petropulu has also served as General Chair or General Co-Chair of some well-known academic conferences, like the IEEE International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC), International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), and others. She was also Distinguished Lecturer of both IEEE SPS (2017-2018) and IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society (2019-2020).
