Prof. Vishal Monga has been on the EECS faculty at Penn State since Fall 2009. From Oct 2005- July 2009 he was an imaging scientist with Xerox Research Labs. He has also been a visiting researcher at Microsoft Research in Redmond, WA and a visiting faculty at the University of Rochester. Prior to that, he received his PhDEE from the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Texas, Austin. Prof. Monga's research has been recognized via the US National Science Foundation CAREER award. He is also a recipient of the 2019 Penn State Engineering Alumni Society (PSEAS) Outstanding Research Award. For his educational efforts, Dr. Monga received the 2016 Joel and Ruth Spira Teaching Excellence award.
In 2022, he was inducted into the National Academy of Inventors. Prof. Monga is an IEEE Senior Member. Here's a glimpse of his recent professional activities:
