Brief Biographical Sketch:

Ilya was born a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Actually he was really born in Kharkiv in present-day Ukraine, grew up in Carmel, IN and received his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University, West Lafayette in 2008.

Having completed several internships through his undergraduate career, he decided that it would be a ripping good time to come to Stanford and get his Master of Science in the same subject. Because, after all, EE is more fun than several barrels packed full of monkeys.

He looks forward to teaching this class and hopes you will enjoy learning this subject.

E311: Sound Advice: Signal Processing from Audio to Radio in Splash! Spring 2009 (Apr. 04 - 05, 2009)
Signal processing is a very important area within engineering that is used in audio, analog radio communication and digital communications such as mobile phones and Wi-Fi. But how and why does all of this work? First of all, what exactly is a "signal" and how are they "processed"? Why do you see CDs with a "sampling frequency" of 44.1kHz? What does that mean? How does your stereo know to play bass or treble from different speakers? How does your radio work? Why is digital TV replacing analog TV? How does high-speed Internet work? All of this and more will be discussed in this class. Recommended prerequisites: familiarity with sines/cosines and some trigonometric identities
