Hamid Gharavi received the Ph.D. degree from Loughborough University, Loughborough, U.K., in 1980. He joined AT&T Bell Laboratories, Holmdel, in 1982. He was then transferred to Bell Communications Research (Bellcore) after the AT&T-Bell divestiture, where he became a Consultant on video technology and a Distinguished Member of Research Staff. In 1993, he joined Loughborough University as Professor and Chair of Communication Engineering. Since September 1998, he has been with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), US Department of Commerce, Gaithersburg, MD. Dr Gharavi was a core member of the Study Group XV (Specialist Group on Coding for Visual Telephony) of the International Communications Standardization Body CCITT (ITU-T). His research interests include smart grid, wireless multimedia, mobile communications and wireless systems, mobile ad-hoc networks, and video/image transmission. He holds eight U.S. patents related to these topics. Dr Gharavi received the Charles Babbage Premium Award from the Institute of Electronics and Radio Engineering in 1986, and the IEEE CAS Society Darlington Best Paper Award in 1989. He served as a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Communication Society. In 1992 Dr. Gharavi was elected a Fellow of IEEE for his contributions to low bit-rate video coding and research in subband coding for image and video applications. He has been a Guest Editor for a number of special issues, including Smart Grid: The Electric Energy System of The Future, which was published in June, 2011 by the Proceedings of the IEEE and The Future Smart Grid Signal Processing Challenges which was published in September 2012 by the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine. He served as a member of the Editorial Board of the PROCEEDINGS OF THE IEEE from January, 2003 to December, 2008. He is currently a member of the Editorial board, IET Image Processing, IEEE Access, and IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid. Dr Gharavi served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on CAS for Video Technology (CSVT) from 1996 to 2006.  He then became the Deputy Editor-in-Chief of this IEEE Transactions through December 31, 2009. Currently, he is serving as the Editor-in-Chief for the IEEE Transactions on CSVT.
