Dr. Lawrence Rabiner
Professor,
Digital Signal Processing
Associate CAIP Director

 

 

I am an Electrical Engineer who has worked in the fields of digital signal processing and speech processing for my entire career. My specialty has been digital signal processing for automatic speech recognition and I have worked on and built a number of innovative systems for AT&T for speech recognition in the network.

I am married (for more than 35 years) with three daughters. My wife Suzanne was a teacher in the Bayonne NJ school system. She retired in June 2002. My oldest daughter, Sheri Gordon, is a lawyer in NYC. My middle daughter, Wendi Heinzelman, is a professor of ECE at the University of Rochester, working in the field of wireless networks. My youngest daughter, Joni Rabiner, is a second year medical student at NYU Medical School. I have two grandchildren, Tess, 22 months old, and Nate, 4 months old.

I have a joint academic appointment between Rutgers University (9 months each year) and the University of California at Santa Barbara where I teach 3 months each year.
