Marcelo J. Weinberger received the Electrical Engineer degree from the
Universidad de la Republica, Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1983, and the
M.Sc. and D.Sc. degrees from Technion -- Israel Institute of Technology,
Haifa, Israel, in 1987 and 1991, respectively, both in electrical
engineering.

>From 1985 to 1992 he was with the Department of Electrical Engineering
at Technion, joining the faculty for the 1991-1992 academic year.
During 1992-1993 he was a Visiting Scientist at IBM Almaden Research
Center, San Jose, California. Since 1993 he has been with
Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, Palo Alto, California, where he is a
Principal Research Scientist and manages the Information Theory
Research group. His research interests include source coding, sequential
decision problems, statistical modeling, and image compression. He is
a coauthor of the algorithm at the core of the JPEG-LS lossless image
compression standard, and was an editor of the standard specification.
He also contributed to the coding algorithm of the JPEG2000 image
compression standard.

Dr. Weinberger was a corecipient of the 2006 ComSoc & Information
Theory Joint Paper Award. He is an IEEE Fellow and served as an
Associate Editor for Source Coding of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON
INFORMATION THEORY from 1999 to 2002.
