It was my honor to attend this prestigious school, with professors who were real "rocket scientists" like Professor Yula, visionaries like Professor Pickle, and world class educators, like Professor Athanasios Papoulis, who literally wrote the book in every language on signal processing and stochastic processes. There were others, but too many to name here. Thank you!
