Christ D. Richmond is an associate professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University. He received a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, and a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Bowie State University, Bowie, MD. He received master's and electrical engineer degrees and a doctorate in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge. Prior to joining ASU, he was a senior staff in the Advanced Sensor Techniques Group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory where his research involved developing adaptive algorithms for detection and parameter estimation, and performance bounding for radar/sonar, communications and passive RF geolocation systems. He was a visiting lecturer and associate of the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University where he taught information theory in the Fall 2014 and 2015, and a visiting lecturer at MIT EECS in the Fall of 2000 teaching the course Radar/Sonar Signal Processing.

He is the recipient of the Office of Naval Research Graduate Fellowship Award 1990–1994, the Alan Berman Research Publications Award March 1994 (Naval Research Laboratory), and the IEEE Signal Processing Society 1999 Young Author Best Paper Award in area of Sensor Array and Multi-channel (SAM) Signal Processing. He has served as the technical chairman of the Adaptive Sensor Array Processing (ASAP) Workshop, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, 2007, 2006, and 1998, and served as a member the IEEE Technical Committee on SAM Signal Processing. He served as an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing from 2002 to 2005. He served an invited reviewer for the book "Bayesian Bounds for Parameter Estimation and Nonlinear Filtering/Tracking," by Professor H. L. Van Trees and Professor K. Bell.  

His research interests include statistical signal processing, detection and parameter estimation theory, and information theory.
