We develop solutions for signal and sensing problems, especially for capturing phenomenon over long period of time and analyzing large data sets. Our solutions include the design of custom sensing systems, hardware, and software to suit the problem. We currently have specific products for high-throughput studies of rodent activity and sleep behaviors.

I primarily direct research as it relates to distributed audio systems and other audio/speech applications. Systems include microphone and speaker arrays for applications in surveillance, acoustic imaging, virtual environments, teleconferencing, telepresense, and smart rooms.

My research and teaching has contributed to the general area of signal processing systems with applications in medical imaging, biomedical signal analysis, non-destructive evaluation, radar detection, image processing, and audio and video sensor networks with over $4 million of funding in these areas and over 90 technical publications. I have advised 41 MS and 3 Ph.D. students, taught over 80 classes at the graduate and undergraduate level, and developed undergraduate courses in signal processing. Current research interests include distributed audio systems, acoustic/auditory scene analysis, statistical signal processing, and biomedical signals analysis. I served the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department in an administrative capacity from 1994 through 2007; 3.5 years as Interim Department Chair, and 8.5 years as Director of Undergraduate Studies.
