Melvin J. Hinich received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in mathematics from Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, in 1959 and 1960, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in statistics from Stanford University, Stanford, CA.
He joined the Faculty of the Graduate School of Industrial Administration of Carnegie-Mellon in 1963 and developed a research agenda in time-series analysis and applied statistics in business and economics. Based on experience gained from summer research projects on sonar signal processing on which he worked at the General Electric Research Laboratories and the Bell Telephone Laboratories (Whippany, NJ), he began to apply statistical theory to array processing, target localization and tracking, and other military science applications, with special emphasis on acoustic warfare. During the summer of 1979, he was an Expert Consultant at the Naval Coastal Systems Center, Panama City, FL. He became an Associate Professor of Industrial Administration and Statistics in 1968 and was advanced to Professor in 1970. In 1973, he joined the Department of Economics at Virginia Polytechnic University as Professor of Economics. He joined the University of Texas (UT) at Austin in August 1982. In 1984, he became affiliated with the Applied Research Laboratories of UT as a Research Faculty Member. He is the Mike Hogg Professor of Government and Professor of Economics at the University of Texas at Austin. He is the author or co-author of six books and numerous articles in journals such as the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, the IEEE T RANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION THEORY, the SIAM Journal of Applied Mathematics, Information, and Control, the IEEE T RANSACTIONS ON ACOUSTICS , SPEECH, AND SIGNAL PROCESSING, and the IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering (invited papers).
Dr. Hinich is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Studies and the Public Choice Society.
