Richard O. Duda is an Emeritus Professor of Electrical Engineering
at San Jose State University,
where he has taught courses in the general area of circuit analysis,
linear systems, and neural networks. In the past, he has done
extensive research in pattern recognition, image analysis, and
expert systems. His current research activities are in the area
of sound processing and auditory scene analysis, with emphasis
on the localization and
synthesis
of sound in three dimensions.
Prof. Duda received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Engineering from
UCLA in 1958 and 1959, respectively, and his Ph.D. in Electrical
Engineering from MIT in 1962. He was in the Artificial Intelligence
Center at SRI International from 1962 to 1980, serving as a visiting
professor at the University of Texas at Austin in the 1973/74
academic year. He was in the Laboratory for AI Research at Fairchild
Semiconductor from 1980 to 1983, and was with Syntelligence until
1988, when he joined the EE faculty at SJSU. He is currently a
Visiting Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering at UC Davis, where he is performing research on
spatial sound in the
CIPIC Interface Laboratory
Prof. Duda is the co-author with Peter E. Hart and David G. Stork
of
Pattern Classification, 2nd Ed. (Wiley, 2001). Prof. Duda is
a member of the Acoustical Society of America,
a member of the Audio Engineering Society, a Fellow of the IEEE,
and a Fellow of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence.
