Summary: My research work has contributed to the
general area of signal processing and communications systems with applications
in medical imaging, non-destructive evaluation, radar detection, image
processing, and audio signal processing.
I have 29 journal publications in print, 48 conference publications, and
have been PI or Co-PI on grants totaling about $4 million in external
funding. I have advised 32 MS Students,
3 Ph.D. students, taught over 70 classes at the graduate and undergraduate
level with higher than average teaching ratings, and developed an undergraduate
signal processing laboratory course and a senior level audio signal processing
course. I served the Electrical and
Computer Engineering Department in an administrative capacity from 1994 through
2005; 3 years as Interim Department Chair, and 8.5 years as Director of
Undergraduate Studies. As Department
Chair I worked with the Computer Science Department to develop a proposal for
research enhancement funds that resulted in 3 new faculty positions, 1 new
technician position, and $700,000 in funds to develop research infrastructure
