His research and teaching interests are in communications, information theory, and signal processing, especially data compression, quantization, image and video coding, source-channel coding, Shannon theory, high-resolution quantization theory, data synchronization, halftoning, and distributed source coding for sensor networks. Dr. Neuhoff is a Fellow of the IEEE. He was Associate Editor for Source Coding for the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory , 1986- 1989. He served on the Board of Governors of the IEEE Information Theory Society, 1988-90 and 2002 to the present.
