Professor Joseph A. Shalika (1941-2010)

 

Our friend and colleague, Joseph Shalika (Professor Emeritus at Johns Hopkins) passed away suddenly on September 18, 2010.

Professor Shalika received his B.A. (1961) and his Ph.D. (1966) from the Johns Hopkins University. He was on the faculty at Princeton University from 1966 to 1971, and at Johns Hopkins starting in 1971, serving as chair from 1979 until 1982.  Professor Shalika was one of the most influential figures in the modern theory of automorphic forms and representations. A native of Baltimore, he resided in his beloved city most of his life. He will be greatly missed by his friends.
