Dr. Douglas Preis joined the Electrical Engineering Faculty at Tufts in 1978 as Assistant Professor, retired as Full Professor in 2020 and was then appointed Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
After completing BS, MS and PhD degrees all in Electrical Engineering he was appointed Research Fellow in Applied Physics at Harvard University. He has had significant research and/or teaching experiences at seven different universities in America and abroad over a span of more than 50 years. At Tufts he developed and taught nine different courses in electrical engineering for both undergraduate and graduate students. These included Circuits and Linear Systems, Electromagnetic Theory and Digital Signal Processing.
He has received fellowships or research grants from NASA, NSF, The Mellon Foundation, The Air Force Office of Scientific Research, The Army Research Laboratory, The German Science Foundation and The Austrian/American Fulbright Commission.
In addition to academic advising and thesis supervision he has served on departmental and School of Engineering, as well as university-wide committees.
He was Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing for five years and a member of The Technical Review Board of the Audio Engineering Society for 20 years.
Professor Preis has published more than 150 original technical works. He twice received an "outstanding paper" award from the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society. He is Fellow of The Audio Engineering Society for "significant contributions to the perception of phase distortion".
