Thomas Kailath was born on June 7, 1935, in Pune, India, where he received
a B.E. (Telecom) degree in 1956. In 1961, he became the first student from India
to receive a doctorate in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology. He was a researcher at the Jet Propulsion Labs, Pasadena, CA,
and also taught part-time at Caltech, before joining Stanford University in 1963
as an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering. He was promoted to Full
Professor in 1968, served as Director of the Information Systems Laboratory
from 1971 to 1980, as Associate Dept. Chair from 1981 to 1987, and since then
as Hitachi America Professor of Engineering. He has also held shorter-term
appointments at several institutions around the world, including Bell Labs, UC
Berkeley, Cambridge University, K.U. Leuven, T.U. Delft, the Indian Institute
of Science, Imperial College, the Weizmann Institute, and M.LT.
Professor Kailath's research has spanned a large number of disciplines, empha
sizing information theory and communications in the sixties, linear systems,
estimation and control in the seventies, and VLSI design and sensor array sig
nal processing in the eighties. Concurrently, he contributed to several fields of
mathematics, especially stochastic processes, operator theory and linear alge
bra. While he maintains all these interests to varying degrees, his current re
search emphasizes their applications to problems of semiconductor manufactur
ing and wireless communications. In the course of his work, Professor Kailath
has mentored an outstanding array of over a hundred doctoral and postdoctoral
students. He is active in several engineering and mathematics professional so
cieties and has served on various national and international boards and panels.
He has been editor of the Prentice Hall Information and System Sciences Series
since 1963. He is a cofounder and a director of Integrated Systems, Inc., a
leading provider of software tools and services for the many products that now
use embedded microcomputers.
Professor Kailath has received awards from the IEEE Information Theory So
ciety, which he served as President in 1975, the American Control Council, the
European Signal Processing Society, and the IEEE Societies in Signal Process
ing, in Circuits and Systems, and in Semiconductor Manufacturing. He is the
recipient of the 1995 IEEE Education Medal and the 1996 IEEE Donald G.
Fink Prize Award. He has held Guggenheim, Churchill and other fellowships
and has been awarded honorary doctorates by Linkoping University in Sweden
and Strathclyde University in Scotland. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and of the
Institute of Mathematical Statistics, and a member of the National Academy of
Engineering, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Third World
Academy of Sciences.
Professor Kailath and his wife, Sarah, reside in Stanford, California. They have
four children: Ann, Paul, Priya and Ryan.
