Education and career
Goyal attended Malcolm Price Laboratory School in Cedar Falls, Iowa, through graduation from its Northern University High School division.{{Cite journal|last=Northern University High School|date=1988-01-01|title=1988 Reach for the Stars|url=https://scholarworks.uni.edu/mpls_yearbooks/45|journal=Malcolm Price Laboratory School Yearbooks}} He received BS and BSE degrees from the University of Iowa in 1993 and MS and PhD degrees from University of California, Berkeley, in 1995 and 1998, respectively. From 1998 to 2000 he served as a Member of Technical Staff at Bell Labs, and from 2001 to 2003 served as a Senior Research Engineer at Digital Fountain. He returned to UC Berkeley in 2003 as a visiting scholar, and from 2004 to 2013 was with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, including holding the Esther and Harold E. Edgerton chair in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.{{Cite web|date=12 July 2007|title=EECS names Berggren, Goyal and Stultz to Career Development Professorships|url=https://www.rle.mit.edu/eecs-names-berggren-goyal-and-stultz-to-career-development-professorships/|access-date=2 July 2020|website=Research Laboratory of Electronics at MIT}} He has been with Boston University since 2016, after two years with the Nest Labs division of Alphabet Inc.{{cite web|url=https://www.bu.edu/systems/profile/vivek-goyal/|title=Vivek Goyal|publisher=Boston University|access-date=2 December 2019}}

Goyal coauthored the 2014 textbook Foundations of Signal Processing with Martin Vetterli and Jelena Kovačević, which was reviewed in IEEE Signal Processing Magazine.{{Cite journal|last=Kwasinski|first=Andres|date=January 2016|title=Foundations of Signal Processing [Book Reviews]|url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7366696|journal=IEEE Signal Processing Magazine|volume=33|issue=1|pages=163–164|doi=10.1109/MSP.2015.2470455|bibcode=2016ISPM...33..163K |s2cid=21960569|issn=1053-5888}}
In 2013, Goyal's group invented first-photon imaging, a method to generate 3D depth and reflectivity images from exactly one detected photon per pixel, even when up to half of the detected photons are due to ambient light. Publication of an article introducing the method in Science{{Cite journal|last1=Kirmani|first1=Ahmed|last2=Venkatraman|first2=Dheera|last3=Shin|first3=Dongeek|last4=Colaço|first4=Andrea|last5=Wong|first5=Franco N.

This contrasts with many earlier methods that use pulsed laser illumination and detectors sensitive to single photons.{{Cite news|title=A camera that can see round corners|newspaper=The Economist|url=https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2019/01/26/a-camera-that-can-see-round-corners|access-date=2020-07-02|issn=0013-0613}}{{Cite journal|last=Castelvecchi|first=Davide|date=2019-01-23|title=How an ordinary camera can see around corners|url=https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-00267-x|journal=Nature|language=en|doi=10.1038/d41586-019-00267-x|s2cid=187966121 }}{{Cite web|last=Hecht|first=Jeff|title=A Simple Camera and an Algorithm Let You See around Corners|url=https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-simple-camera-and-an-algorithm-let-you-see-around-corners/|access-date=2020-07-02|website=Scientific American|language=en}} He later collaborated on work that extended laser-based NLOS imaging to 1.43 km stand-off distance.{{Cite news |date=18 March 2021 |title=How to see what is hidden from view |url=https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2021/03/18/how-to-see-what-is-hidden-from-view |access-date=21 July 2024 |newspaper=The Economist}}
