Joseph P. Campbell received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1979, the M.S. degree in electrical engineering from The Johns Hopkins University in 1986, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Oklahoma State University in 1992. Joe is currently a Senior Member of the Technical Staff at MIT Lincoln Laboratory in the Information Systems Technology Group, where he conducts speech-processing research and specializes in speaker recognition and biometrics. Before joining Lincoln Laboratory, he served 22 years at the National Security Agency (NSA).
From 1979 to 1990, Dr. Campbell was a member of NSA's Narrowband Secure Voice Technology research group. Joe and his teammates developed the first DSP-chip software modem and LPC-10e, which enhanced the Federal Standard 1015 voice coder and improved US and NATO secure voice systems. He was the Principal Investigator and led the US Government's speech coding team in developing the CELP voice coder, which became Federal Standard 1016 and is the foundation of digital cellular and voice over the Internet telephony systems. From 1991 to 1998, Dr. Campbell was a senior scientist in NSA's Biometric Technology research group, where he led voice verification research. From 1994 to 1998, Joe chaired the Biometric Consortium, the US Government's focal point for research, development, test, evaluation, and application of biometric-based personal identification and verification technology. From 1998 to 2001, he led the Acoustics Section of NSA’s Speech Research branch, conducting and coordinating research on and evaluation of speaker recognition, language identification, gender identification, and speech activity detection methods.
Dr. Campbell taught Speech Processing at The Johns Hopkins University (1991-2001) and was an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Speech and Audio Processing (1991-1999), an IEEE Signal Processing Society Distinguished Lecturer (2001-2002), a member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society’s Board of Governors (2002-2004), and a coeditor of Digital Signal Processing journal (1998-2005). He is currently a cochair of the International Speech Communication Association's Speaker and Language Characterization Special Interest Group (ISCA SpLC SIG) and a member of the National Academy of Sciences’ Whither Biometrics? Committee. Dr. Campbell is a member of Sigma Xi, the International Speech Communication Association, the Boston Audio Society, and the Acoustical Society of America and is a Fellow of the IEEE.
