Stamatis Cambanis *69

Stamatis Cambanis, professor of electrical engineering at the U. of North Carolina, died at his home Apr. 12, 1995. He was 51. He succumbed after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Born in Athens, Greece, he earned his undergraduate degree in Greece and his PhD at Princeton. His entire professional life was spent on the faculty of the electrical engineering department at UNC-Chapel Hill, where he also served as departmental chairman. He was a distinguished theorist in statistical communication with little or no interest in practical applications. His talents also included his capability as a superb teacher. He was generously honored by numerous professional societies and with the award of an honorary doctorate in mathematics by the university in Athens, Greece. His wife, Miranda, and two sons, Alexis and Thanassis, survive him. To them we send our expression of deepest sympathy.
