Robert Calderbank (born 28 December 1954) is a professor of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and Mathematics and director of the Information Initiative at Duke University.[1] He received a BSc from Warwick University in 1975, an MSc from Oxford in 1976, and a PhD from Caltech in 1980, all in mathematics. He joined Bell Labs in 1980, and retired from AT&T Labs in 2003 as Vice President for Research and Internet and network systems. He then went to Princeton as a professor of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Applied and Computational Mathematics, before moving to Duke in 2010 to become Dean of Natural Sciences.[2]
His contributions to coding and information theory won the IEEE Information Theory Society Paper Award in 1995 and 1999.[3]
He was elected as a member into the US National Academy of Engineering in 2005 for leadership in communications research, from advances in algebraic coding theory to signal processing for wire-line and wireless modems.[4] He also became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2012.[5]
Calderbank won the 2013 IEEE Richard W. Hamming Medal[6] and the 2015 Claude E. Shannon Award.
He was named a SIAM Fellow in the 2021 class of fellows, "for deep contributions to information theory".[7]
He is married to Ingrid Daubechies.[8]
