Stanley P. Lipshitz is a professor in both the departments of Applied Mathematics and Physics at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. In addition to the usual teaching duties associated with a university position, he conducts his own research and supervises graduate student research in audio and electroacoustics as a member of the university's Audio Research Group.
Prior to joining the faculty of the University of Waterloo in 1970, he studied in South Africa, the country of his birth and where he received his Bachelors (1964), Masters (1966) and Ph.D. (1970) degrees in applied mathematics. He is now a Canadian citizen.
Dr. Lipshitz is a fellow of the Audio Engineering Section Society, and served as a governor for the periods 1984- 1986, 1987-1992, and as its President for the year 1988-1989. He is a member of the Review Board of the Society's Journal, and serves on the Publications Policy Committee. Other society memberships include the IEEE, the Acoustical Society of America, and the Canadian Acoustical Association. He is also Music Society. vice-president and recording engineer of the Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber
He has presented numerous technical papers at AES Conventions, both in North America and overseas, on a wide range of topics including amplifier design, psychoacoustics, loudspeaker crossover design, electroacoustic transducer measurement techniques, acoustics, and digital signal processing for audio.
Dr. Lipshitz has participated in many educational workshops and seminars on various aspects of audio including loudspeaker measurement, stereo microphone techniques, and the fundamentals of digital audio. His is published frequently in the AES Journal and many other audio related journals.
His current research interests include transducer design and measurement, digital signal processing for audio including the mathematical theory of dithered quantizers and noise shapers, the calculation of acoustic diffraction, adaptive room deconvolution, and the characterization and design of surround-sound systems. He has consulted for a number of companies on audio-related matters.
In October 1993, Dr. Lipshitz received the AES Silver Medal Award for his research contributions to audio.
