After obtaining his MS, William Huggins continued his work in radio interference as a research assistant at OSC until being appointed to the Radio Research Lab at Harvard in 1944. His research interests broadened while with the US Air Force Research Center from 1945 to 1954, being appointed as Assistant to the Director in 1953. His diversity is illustrated by his doctoral dissertation from MIT in 1953 entitled "A Theory of Hearing." He became a faculty member of the Johns Hopkins University in 1954 where he rose to hold the Westinghouse Chair. He received numerous awards from both technical and educational societies (IEEE and ASEE and their predecessors). Dr. Huggins was decorated by USAF for "Exceptional Civilian Service" and was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1970.
