From 1982 to 1985, he was a full staff member at MIT Lincoln Laboratory and in 1989 he received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Princeton University. He joined the faculty of Purdue University in 1989 where he is currently the Showalter Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Biomedical Engineering.

Prof. Bouman’s research in computational imaging is focused on the integration of statistical signal processing, physics, and computation to solve problems with applications in healthcare, scientific, industrial, and consumer imaging. He is a member of the National Academy of Inventors, a Life Fellow of the IEEE, a Fellow and Honorary Member of the IS&T, and a Fellow of SPIE and AIMBE. He is currently a Vice President of the IS&T. From 2000 to 2004, he served as the Vice President of Publications for the IS&T. In 2022 he was made an Honorary Member of the IS&T, and in 2023, he was given the IS&T Service Award. He received the 2021 IEEE Signal Processing Society, Claude Shannon-Harry Nyquist Technical Achievement Award, the 2014 Electronic Imaging Scientist of the Year award, and in 2020, his paper on Plug-and-Play Priors won the SIAM Imaging Science Best Paper Prize. In 2003, he founded the IS&T Computational Imaging Conference and led the creation of the IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging.
