Over the last 45 years, Dr. Witold Kinsner has been involved in research on robust real-time algorithms and software/hardware computing engines for signal and data compression in cognitive machines and systems. His major contributions are in the areas of:
(i) polyscale signal analysis (a new approach),
(ii) reconfigurable, synchronous, self-synchronizing semiconductor computer memories, and
(iii) magnetic bubble memories and devices.
He supervised over 70 postgraduate theses, over 200 capstone students, with over 750 publications in the areas. In 1978, he co-founded the first Industrial Applications of Microelectronics Centre in Canada at the University of Manitoba. He has served on CEAB accreditation teams, and was elected as 2014-2015 IEEE Canada President-Elect and 2014-2015 IEEE Region 7 Delegate-Elect/Director-Elect.
