James Pitton received his B.S.E. and M.S.E. in Electrical Engineering in 1985 and 1986, respectively, from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Washington in Seattle in 1994. From 1986 to 1989, he was a Member of Technical Staff with the Signal Processing Division of The Analytic Sciences Corporation in Reston, VA, where he worked in communications systems analysis. From 1994 to 1995, he was with the Speech Research Dept. of AT&T Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, NJ, where he worked on
signal processing front ends for automatic speech recognition, particularly time-frequency representations. From 1996 through 1999, he was a Research Scientist with MathSoft in Seattle, WA.
He is currently a Principal Engineer at the Applied Physics Laboratory, University of Washington in Seattle, and was the Head of the Environmental and Information Systems Department from 2002 until 2007. He is also an Affiliate Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at UW. His research interests include statistical signal processing (sonar, automatic classification, nonstationary signal processing, array processing), digital communications (blind demodulation, modulation classification), and auditory science and psychoacoustics.
