Four Stanford professors have been elected to the National Academy of
Engineering (NAE). Robert Gray, Mark Horowitz, Teresa Meng and
Sebastian Thrun were among the 64 new members announced on Feb. 9.
[...]
Gray, the Lucent Technologies Professor of Engineering and vice chair
of the Electrical Engineering Department, was cited for "contributions
to information theory and data compression." His research has included
work on image compression, enhancement and classification as well as
statistical signal processing.
Gray earned bachelor's and master's degrees from MIT in 1966, both in
electrical engineering, and a doctorate in the same field from the
University of Southern California in 1969. That year he joined
Stanford's faculty. From 1984 to 1987, he was director of the
Information Systems Laboratory.

You can find more on his home page: http://ee.stanford.edu/~gray/

Looks like this book is frequently cited, and still in print:
A. Gersho and R. M. Gray, Vector Quantization and Signal Compression,
Kluwer Academic Press, 1992.
But, I post this here because of a nice surprise on his web site. A
nifty set of free books in PDF format:
o Probability, Random Processes, and Ergodic Properties Revised 27
January 2007.
o Introduction to Statistical Signal Processing, with Lee D. Davisson,
Revised 28 January 2007.
o Entropy and Information Theory, revised 27 January 2007.
