Biography:
Dean J. Schmidlin received his B.S. in electrical engineering from Manhattan College in 1964, and subsequently received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from New York University in 1966 and 1971, respectively.From 1971 to 1982, Dr. Schmidlin worked as an electronics engineering for the Naval Underwater Systems Center, Newport, Rhode Island. In 1982, he joined the faculty of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth as an assistant professor in the Department of Elctrical and Computer Engineering. He was promoted to an associate professor in 1990 and a full professor in 1998. Between the years of 1982 and 2002, Dr. Schmidlin did consulting work for Mitili, Inc., ORI, Inc., NUSC, and SITTEL Corporation. His research interests include signal processing, underwater acoustics, linear time-varying systems, and the theory of special functions.
From 1992 to 2001, Dr. Schmidlin was a member of the Executive Committee of the Providence Section of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers(IEEE), where he also served as Secretary (1993-1995) and Chairman (1995-1997). In 2000 the IEEE awarded him the Third Millennium Medal for Outstanding Achievements and Contributions. Besides being a member of the IEEE, Dr. Schmidlin is a member of the Acoustical Society of America, Eta Kappa Nu, and Tau Beta Pi.
