Abdul Jabbar Hassoon Jerri (July 20 1932) is an Iraqi American physicist and mathematician, most known for his contributions to
information theory.

He earned a B.Sc. in physics at the University of Baghdad (1955) and
M.S. in physics from Illinois Institute of Technology (1960) in Chicagowhere he continued to work in the research group (1960-63). He also earned a
Ph.D. in mathematics from Oregon State University (1967) on the thesis"On extensions of the generalized sampling theorem".Jerri joined the faculty at Clarkson University in Potsdam, NY (1967),where he worked since, now holding a professor emeritus position. He also had visiting positions at American University in Cairo (1972-74).His main research areas have beenintegral and discrete transforms,sampling expansions,gibbs phenomena,transform-iterative methods for nonlinear problems, andoperational sum methods for difference equations.
