Allyn E. Hubbard received the B.S. degree, the M.S. degree, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI, USA, in 1970, 1972, and 1976, respectively. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA, in biomedical engineering until 1979, specializing in information processing in the mammalian auditory system. Since 1979, he has been a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Boston University (BU), Boston, MA, USA. In 1986, he was also appointed Professor of Biomedical Engineering. His interests include understanding and quantitatively modeling processing in the auditory system from the cochlea to the cortex. With his students, he has built hundreds of VLSI chips, both analog and digital, including many that emulate auditory function and a variety of other biomedical applications including on-chip drug discovery and chip-to-neuron interfaces. His main teaching involvements range from fundamental digital design, VLSI circuits, and VLSI chips using highly integrative CAD tools. Dr. Hubbard has long been a reviewer for leading circuits journals and auditory-specialization journals, as well as for prominent broad-area journals for manuscripts that involve VLSI or auditory topics. He received funding and/or has been a reviewer for NSF, NIH, ONR, AFOSR, ARL, and ARO. At BU, he is currently a collaborating member of the Photonics Center, the Center of Computational Neuroscience and Neural Technology, the Hearing Research Center, the Center for Space Physics, and the Graduate Program for Neuroscience.
