Philip E. Rubin is an American cognitive scientist
and technologist
who since 2003 has been the Chief Executive Officer and a Senior Scientist at Haskins Laboratories
in New Haven, Connecticut. He is also a Professor Adjunct in the Department of Surgery, Otolaryngology at the Yale University School of Medicine
and a Research Affiliate in the Department of Psychology at Yale University
. He has also been involved with issues of science
advocacy, education
, funding, and policy
.
and linguistics
in 1971 from Brandeis University
and subsequently attended the University of Connecticut
where he received his PhD is experimental psychology in 1975 under the tutelage of Michael Turvey
, Ignatius Mattingly
, Philip Lieberman
, and Alvin Liberman
.
, most particularly the biological bases of speech and language. He is best known for his work on articulatory synthesis
(computational modeling of the physiology and acoustics of speech production), speech perception
, sinewave synthesis
, signal processing
, perceptual organization, and theoretical approaches and modeling of complex temporal events, and continues active research collaborations with colleagues at Haskins, Yale, and other institutions.
During his time at Haskins Laboratories
, Rubin has been responsible for the design of many software systems. Most prominent are SWS http://www.haskins.yale.edu/featured/sws/sws.html, the Haskins sinewave synthesis
program and ASY http://www.haskins.yale.edu/facilities/asy-demo.html, the Haskins articulatory synthesis
program. SWS has been used by Robert Remez
, Rubin, David B. Pisonihttp://www.indiana.edu/~srlweb/personal/pisoni.html, and other colleagues and researchers to study the time-varying characteristics of the speech signal. In addition to use in standard articulatory synthesis
, the ASY program has been used as part of a gestural-computational modelhttp://www.haskins.yale.edu/research/gestural.html that combines articulatory phonology
, task dynamicshttp://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2001ASAJ..115.2430N, and articulatory synthesis
. With Louis Goldstein
and Mark Tiedehttp://www.haskins.yale.edu/StAFF/tiede.html, Rubin designed a radical revision of the articulatory synthesis
model, known as CASY http://www.haskins.yale.edu/facilities/casy.html, the configurable articulatory synthesizer. This 3-dimensional model of the vocal tract
permits researchers to replicate MRI images of actual speakers and has been used to study the relation between speech production and perception. He is also the designer of the HADES
signal processing system and the SPIEL programming language.
He is co-creator, with Eric Vatikiotis-Batesonhttp://ling75.arts.ubc.ca/labsite/, of the Talking Heads websitehttp://www.haskins.yale.edu/featured/heads/heads.html and a co-founder, with Elliot Saltzman
http://www.bu.edu/sargent/about/faculty/physical-therapy/saltzman/ of the IS grouphttp://cs.wlu.edu/~levy/is/.
Rubin was the founder, in 1984, and first president of YMUG (now known as YaleMUG, the Yale Macintosh Users Group)http://www.yalemug.org/ and the publisher of The Desktop Journal.

From 2000-2003 Rubin was the Director of the Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (BCS)http://www.nsf.gov/div/index.jsp?div=BCS at the National Science Foundation
(NSF) in Arlington, Virginia. He was the NSF ex officio representative to the National Human Research Protection Advisory Committee (NHRPAC)http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/nhrpac/nhrpac.htm and the Secretary's Advisory Committee on Human Research Protections (SACHRP)http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/sachrp/, established to provide advice to the Secretary of Health and Human Services on issues related to the protection of human research subjects. He was also the co-chair of the inter-agency National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) Committee on Science (COS) Human Subjects Research Subcommittee (HSRS) under the auspices of the President's Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and was also formerly the co-chair of the HSRS Behavioral Research Working Group. Since leaving government service, he has continued to be active on human subjects issues as they relate to public policy
, including lecturing, writing, co-authoring an AAUP
reporthttp://www.aaup.org/AAUP/comm/rep/A/humansubs.htm, participating in activities of the Yale Bioethics Centerhttp://www.yale.edu/bioethics/ and serving on the advisory board of the Journal of Empirical Research on Human Research Ethicshttp://www.csueastbay.edu/JERHRE/.
Rubin has been in several leadership roles related to science policy and advocacy. He is presently the Chair of the National Academies
Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Scienceshttp://www7.nationalacademies.org/bbcss/; Chair of the National Research Council
(NRC) Committee on Field Evaluation of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences-Based Methods and Tools for Intelligence and Counter-Intelligencehttp://www7.nationalacademies.org/bbcss/Committee_on_Field_Evaluation.html; a member of the NRC Committee on Developing Metrics for Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Researchhttp://www8.nationalacademies.org/cp/projectview.aspx?key=49084; a member of the Executive Committee of the Federation of Associations in Behavioral and Brain Scienceshttp://www.thefederationonline.org/; and the co-leader ot the Yale-Haskins Teagle Foundation Collegium on Student Learninghttp://www.haskins.yale.edu/Teagle.html.
