Philip Schniter is an IEEE Fellow, an AIAA Fellow, and a member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. From 2018-2023 he was elected to serve on the IEEE Computational Imaging Technical Committee (CITC), from 2013-2018 on the IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel (SAM) Technical Committee, and from 2005-2010 on the IEEE Signal Processing for Communications and Networking (SPCOM) Technical Committee. Since 2020 he has served on the editorial board of the SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences, from 2013-2014 he was a guest editor for the IEEE JSAC Special Issue on Full-duplex Wireless Communications and Networks, and from 2005-2009 he was an Associate Editor for IEEE Signal Processing Letters. Since 2018 he has been elected to serve on the Steering Committee for the Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems, and Computers. For that conference, he was General Chair in 2016, Technical Chair in 2013, Vice Technical Chair in 2012, and Area Chair for Signal Processing and Adaptive Systems in 2011. Since 2017 he has also served as the Signal Processing Area Chair for the International Biomedical and Astronomical Signal Processing (BASP) Frontiers workshop. Previously, Dr. Schniter served as technical co-chair (with Wei Ye) for the 2008 ACM International Workshop on UnderWater Networks (WUWNet), as technical co-chair (with Elza Erkip) for the 2006 IEEE Communication Theory Workshop (CTW). He is organizing a special session for the 2025 Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems, and Computers, and he previously organized special sessions for the 2016 IEEE Information Theory Workshop, the 2014 Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems, and Computers, the 2013 IEEE International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing (CAMSAP), and the 2009 IEEE Underwater Acoustic Signal Processing Workshop (UASP). He regularly serves on technical program committees for the IEEE Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP), the IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GLOBALSIP), the IEEE Workshop on Statistical Signal Processing (SSP), the IEEE International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing (CAMSAP), the IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM), the IEEE Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communication (SPAWC), and the IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM).

Dr. Schniter was awarded the 1999 Prize Paper Award from the IEEE Energy Development and Power Generation Committee for work relating to his M.S. thesis. While pursuing his Ph.D. degree, he received a Schlumberger Fellowship and an Intel Foundation Fellowship. In 2003, he received the National Science Foundation CAREER Award and, in 2005, the OSU College of Engineering Lumley Research Award. With graduate student Adam Margetts, he co-authored a paper that was a finalist in the student paper contest at the IEEE ICASSP-2005 conference. With graduate student Arun Kannu, he co-authored a paper that was a winner in the student paper contest at the IEEE SPAWC-2005 conference. In 2012, his graduate student Justin Ziniel won First Place in the OSU Hayes Graduate Research Forum. In 2014, he was elevated to IEEE Fellow "for contributions to signal processing in communications". With graduate student Jason Parker and collaborator Volkan Cevher, he won the 2016 IEEE Signal Processing Society Best Paper Award. He won the Qualcomm Faculty Award in 2017 and 2018, and the OSU ECE Department Outstanding Teaching Award in 2020.

Dr. Schniter's current research interests include machine learning, signal processing, and image processing. He has received research funding from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Air Force Research Laboratory, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, MIT Lincoln Labs, Motorola Labs, the Office of Naval Research, Qualcomm, and Sandia National Labs.
