James H. McClellan (born 5 October 1947) is the Byers Professor of Signal Processing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He is widely known for his creation of the McClellan transform and for his co-authorship of the Parks–McClellan filter design algorithm.^[1]

Early life and education

James McClellan was born on October 5, 1947, in Guam. McClellan received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Louisiana State University in 1969.^[2] He went on to receive an M.S. (1972) and a Ph.D. (1973) from Rice University.^[2]

Career

In 1973, he joined the research staff of MIT's Lincoln Laboratory. In 1975, he became a professor at MIT's Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department before leaving to join Schlumberger. Since 1987, he has been at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Prof. McClellan is a Fellow of the IEEE.^[1] He received the Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing Technical Achievement Award in 1987,^[2] the IEEE Signal Processing Society Award in 1996,^[2] and the IEEE Jack S. Kilby Signal Processing Medal in 2004 (together with Thomas W. Parks).^{[3] [4]}
