Leah H. Jamieson (born August 27, 1949 in Trenton, NJ, USA) is an American engineering educator serving at present as the John A. Edwardson Dean of Engineering and Ransburg Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University. She is a member of the US National Academy of Engineering and served as the 2007 President and CEO of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
Jamieson was a founder of the Engineering Projects in Community Service program (EPICS), a multi-university engineering design program that operates in a service-learning context. She is a recipient of the Gordon Prize.
Jamieson was born in 1949 and grew up in New Jersey, USA. She received the B.S. degree in mathematics in 1972 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She received M.A. and M.S.E. degrees in 1974 and a Ph.D. in 1977, all three from Princeton University.
Jamieson worked as Professor of Engineering at Purdue University since 1976. Her research interests include speech analysis and recognition; the design and analysis of parallel processing algorithms; and the application of parallel processing to the areas of digital speech, image, and signal processing. She has authored over 160 journal and conference papers in these areas and has co-edited books on algorithmically specialized parallel computers (Academic Press, 1985) and the characteristics of parallel algorithms (MIT Press,1987). She served Purdue as Director of the Graduate Program in Electrical Engineering (1990–94), Director of Graduate Admissions (1994–96), Interim Head of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (2002), and Associate Dean of Engineering for Undergraduate Education (2004–06). At present she is serving as the John A. Edwardson Dean of Engineering and Ransburg Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
