Akihiko Sugiyama Yahoo! JAPAN Reeserch Project Researcher
A.k.a. Ken Sugiyama. 40 years of experience developing a wide variety of telecommunications, speech, and audio signal processing systems for consumer and network system products. In addition to proven record of adoption in products and international standards as well as publication and granted patents, marketing and sales experience to develop over 300 new contacts in the world in two years and proof-of-concept (PoC) evaluations with world-leading companies for technical licensing is unique as a research engineer. Once representing Japan for ISO/IEC MPEG Audio standardization including an Interim Chair of the Audio Subgroup at the Angra dos Reis Meeting (BR) in 1992, experiences extend to ITU and 3GPP standardization as a delegate. Guidance and encouragement for 5 successful young engineers and internship students to receive a Ph.D or Dr. of Engineering degree for what they have achieved under his supervision without being enrolled in a university course. 20-year teaching experience at local universities and supervision of 75 internship students. Published 41 journal papers (13 as the primary author) and 24 invited/tutorial papers in journals (17 as the primary author), presented 100 papers at international conferences (49 as the primary author), contributed to 17 chapters in books (15 as the primary author), drafted 4 Japanese Industrial Standards, delivered 174 invited talks in 87 cities of 31 countries, and received 21 awards. The sole inventor or a co-inventor of 217 registered patents in Japan, US, EPC, Canada, Australia, Korea, Taiwan, and Brazil as well as 6 registered trademarks. Fellow of IEEE and IEICE, a Distinguished Lecturer for Signal Processing Society (2014-2015) and Consumer Electronics Society (2017-2018), as well as a Distinguished Industry Speaker for Signal Processing Society (2020-2021), IEEE. Recognized as a Renowned Distinguished Speaker (Rock Star) in 2020 by Consumer Electronics Society, IEEE. One of the 50 members of IEEE Fellow Committee (2018-2020, 2022-2023) to finalize the recommendation for elevation to the Fellow of the world's largest engineering society.
