Patrick J. Wolfe Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Department of Statistics, Harvard University Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences & Technology Research Publications

Patrick J. Wolfe received a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and a B.Mus. concurrently from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, both with honors. He earned his Ph.D. in Engineering from the University of Cambridge as a US National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow, working on the application of perceptual criteria to statistical audio signal processing.

Prior to founding the Statistics and Information Sciences Laboratory at Harvard in 2004, Professor Wolfe held a Fellowship and College Lectureship jointly in Engineering and Computer Science at New Hall (now Murray Edwards College), a Cambridge College where he also served as Dean. He has also taught in the Department of Statistical Science at University College, London, and continues to act as a consultant to the professional audio community.

In addition to his diverse teaching activities, Professor Wolfe has published in the literatures of engineering, computer science, and statistics, and has received honors from the Acoustical Society of America and the International Society for Bayesian Analysis. His research group focuses on statistical signal processing and its application to tasks involving modern high-dimensional data sets, in particular sounds, images, and networks.
