Shihab Shamma
Shihab Shamma received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 1977 and 1980, and in Slavic Languages and Literature in 1980 from the same institution. He is interested in the representation of the acoustic signal at various levels in mammalian auditory systems. His work ranges from theoretical models of auditory processing in early and central auditory stages, to neurophysiological investigations of the auditory cortex, to psychoacoustical experiments of human perception of acoustic spectral profiles. Dr. Shamma has been a member of the University of Maryland faculty since 1984. He has been associated with the Institute for Systems Research since its inception in 1985, and received a joint appointment in 1990. He is a fellow of the Acoustical Society of America.
