Early life and education edit
Hemchandra Kekre was born in India on 4 April 1935 to Mrinalini Kekre, and Baburao Kekre.[citation needed]
Kekre graduated with degrees including: B.E. (Hons) in Telecommunications engineering from Jabalpur Engineering College, MTech in Electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, M.S.Engg in (Electrical engineering) from the University of Ottawa, and lastly a PhD in Electrical Engineering from IIT Mumbai.[citation needed]
Kekre moved from the electrical department to the computer science department 1970. Kekre was head of the Computer Science department between 1978 and 1984. Kekre retired from IIT Mumbai in 1995, and joined Thadomal Shahani Engineering College in Mumbai as a Professor of Computer Science, Vice Principal, and Head of Department of Computer Science. In 2008 Kekre joined Mukesh Patel School of Technology Management & Engineering (MPSTME) as a Senior Professor of Computer Science.[citation needed] Kekre worked in MPSTME until his death.[citation needed]
Academic works edit
Kekre is named after several transformations, these include: Kekre wavelet transform,[3]
Kekre's hybrid wavelet transform technique,[4] Kekre's fast codebook generation[5] and Kekre's LUV color space.[6]
