Jayant&#039;&#039;&#039; (1945 -- ) is an [[Indian-American]] communications engineer. He was a prominent long-term researcher at [[Bell Laboratories]] and subsequently a professor at [[Georgia Institute of Technology]]. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Communication Engineering from the [[Indian Institute of Science]], Bangalore, India in 1970.<br /> <br /> Jayant&#039;s personal research has been in the field of digital [[coding theory|coding]], [[secure voice]], and transmission of information signals. His research has been on techniques for speech encryption, packet voice, signal enhancement, robust vector quantization and image coding. He has made pioneering contributions to waveform quantization.&lt;ref&gt;Jayant, N. S., Digital coding of speech waveforms, Proc. of IEEE, pp. 611-632, May 1974, Invited Paper (IEEE Browder Thompson Award)&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;Jayant, N. S. and P.Noll, Digital Coding of Waveforms - Principles and Applications to Speech and Video, Prentice Hall, 1984.&lt;/ref&gt; He is the author of five books, and he has received 40 patents.<br /> <br /> [[Adaptive differential pulse-code modulation]] (ADPCM) was developed for voice coding in the early 1970s by Jayant with P. Cummiskey and [[James L. Flanagan]] at [[Bell Labs]].&lt;ref&gt;P. Cummiskey, N. S. Jayant, and J. L. Flanagan, &quot;Adaptive quantization in differential PCM coding of speech,&quot; Bell Syst. Tech. J., vol. 52, pp. 1105—1118, Sept. 1973.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> He won the 1995 [[IEEE Donald G. Fink Prize Paper Award]]. In 1996, he was elected to the [[National Academy of Engineering]] for his contributions to the coding and compression of speech, audio and image signals.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [https://www.ece.gatech.edu/faculty-staff-directory/nikil-s-jayant Faculty Page]<br /> * [http://users.ece.gatech.edu/~njayant/ Personal Homepage]<br /> <br /> {{authority control}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Jayant, Nikil}}<br /> [[Category:Living people]]<br /> [[Category:1945 births]]<br /> [[Category:Indian emigrants to the United States]]<br /> [[Category:21st-century American engineers]]<br /> [[Category:Members of the United States National Academy of Engineering]]<br /> [[Category:Georgia Tech faculty]]<br /> [[Category:Indian Institute of Science alumni]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{US-engineer-stub}}</div>
