Benjamin J. Slocumb Biography

Benjamin J. Slocumb is a Program Director and Senior Research Scientist at Numerica Corporation. He received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 1998 from the Georgia Institute of Technology. In 1988 he received the MS degree in Electrical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis, and in 1986 he received the BS degree in Systems Science and Engineering also from Washington University. He received a BA degree in Mathematics from Colorado College in 1984. In 2001 he joined Numerica Corporation where is responsible for business development and the direction of research programs in the areas of multi-target multi-sensor tracking, information and data fusion, radar signal processing, and mathematical and statistical modeling with specific application to radar systems. Prior to joining Numerica, Benjamin was employed at the Georgia Tech Research Institute in Atlanta, GA, as a Senior Research Engineer. There his primary involvement was on programs to assess statistical performance measures of radar intercept receivers including aspects of intercept, detection, emitter location, pulse train processing and deinterleaving, beamforming, frequency hop waveform intercept, LPI system performance, and digital intercept receivers. He has served as a Visiting Research Fellow concurrently with the Defence Science and Technology Organisation and the Cooperative Research Center for Robust and Adaptive Systems in Australia. The activities in Australia focused on the development of advanced signal processing algorithms for polynomial phase parameter estimation and pulse train parameter estimation and deinterleaving. Benjamin is a member of the IEEE, SPIE, and ISIF. He is Associate Editor for Fusion Architectures and Management Issues for the Journal of Advances in Information Fusion. He serves as a reviewer for the IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems and the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing.
