Women in Signal Processing

Download or read book Women in Signal Processing written by Hagit Messer and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2022-12-12 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. As an estimate, this number is even lower in the field of Signal Processing, with some sources indicating it could be around 10%. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers. Frontiers in Signal Processing is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women researchers and engineers, across all areas of Signal Processing. The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of the Signal Processing landscape, and presents advances in theory, experiment and methodology with applications to compelling problems. This article collection is open for submissions across all sections of the journal, and new articles will be added as they are published. Please note: to be considered for this collection, the corresponding author should be a female researcher.
