David Mitchell has been a faculty member at New Mexico State University (NMSU) in the Klipsch School of Electrical and Computer Engineering since 2015. He was promoted to associate professor in 2023. His research focuses on wireless communications, particularly data compression and information theory.
"As a society, we have a big data problem, in the sense that we are generating data much faster than our communications infrastructure can support," he said. "Network-aware data compression techniques can help to reduce this bottleneck by determining the similarities in the structure and content of data, as well as how the users are connected to one another."
In 2022, Mitchell received the National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development award. The CAREER award is recognized as one of the most prestigious NSF awards aimed at supporting early-career faculty.
"Being able to bring state-of-the-art research problems into the classroom is one of my favorite aspects of working at NMSU," Mitchell said. "We have a great environment for our upper-level students to collaborate on real-world problems."
Before joining NMSU, Mitchell was part of the faculty at the University of Notre Dame. He holds a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and a bachelor's degree in mathematics from the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom.
