Brief Biographical Sketch
Andrea Goldsmith received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from
U.C. Berkeley in 1986, 1991, and 1994, respectively. She was an Assistant Professor in the
department of Electrical Engineering at Caltech from 1994-1999. In 1999 she joined the Electrical
Engineering department at Stanford University, where she is currently an Associate Professor. Her
industry experience includes affiliation with Maxim Technologies from 1986-1990, where she worked
on packet radio and satellite communication systems, and with AT&T Bell Laboratories from 1991-1992,
where she worked on microcell modeling and channel estimation. Her research includes work in capacity
of wireless channels and networks, wireless information and communication theory, multiantenna systems,
joint source and channel coding, cross-layer wireless network design, communications for distributed
control, and adaptive resource allocation for cellular systems and ad-hoc wireless networks.
Dr. Goldsmith is a Terman Faculty Fellow at Stanford and a recipient of the Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, the National Academy of Engineering Gilbreth Lectureship, a National Science Foundation CAREER Development Award, the Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award, a National Semiconductor Faculty Development Award, an Okawa Foundation Award, and the David Griep Memorial Prize from U.C. Berkeley. She has been an editor for the IEEE Transactions on Communications and the IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine since 1995.
