American electrical engineer
John R. “Jack” Deller Jr. is an American electrical engineer and IEEE Fellow who is University Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Michigan State University.[1] He is known for his research in statistical signal processing with applications to speech processing and biomedicine, and for his influential textbooks on digital speech signal processing.[2]
Deller served as Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Signal Processing Magazine for six years and received the IEEE Signal Processing Society’s Meritorious Service Award in 1997 for this service.[3] At Michigan State University, he directs the Speech Processing Laboratory.[4]
Deller received his Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering summa cum laude from Ohio State University in 1974.[1] He then attended the University of Michigan, where he earned a Master of Science in bioengineering (1975), a Master of Science in electrical and computer engineering (1976), and a Doctor of Philosophy in biomedical engineering (1979).[1]
Deller is a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Michigan State University, where he directs the Speech Processing Laboratory.[4] His research interests include statistical signal processing with applications to speech and hearing, genomics, and other aspects of biomedicine.[1]
He served as Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Signal Processing Magazine for six years, for which he received the IEEE Signal Processing Society’s Meritorious Service Award in 1997.[3] He has also served as an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Speech and Audio Processing.[4]
Research and publications
[edit]
Deller’s research focuses on statistical signal processing with applications to speech processing, hearing, genomics, and biomedicine.[1] He has authored or co-authored three textbooks and contributed chapters to several research books.[1]
His tutorial paper “Tom, Dick, and Mary Discover the DFT” was awarded the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine Best Paper Award in 1998.[1] The paper presents an innovative pedagogical approach to explaining the discrete Fourier transform through a narrative of three undergraduate students discovering the mathematical relationships between continuous and discrete Fourier analysis.[5]

- Digital Signal Processing and the Microcontroller (with Dale Grover), Prentice Hall, 1999[6]
Discrete-Time Processing of Speech Signals provides a comprehensive treatment of digital speech signal processing, covering speech production physiology and modeling, signal analysis techniques, coding, enhancement, quality assessment, and recognition.[3] Digital Signal Processing and the Microcontroller takes a practical, accessible approach to DSP implementation on embedded systems, aimed at readers without extensive mathematical background.[7]
