IEEE Fellow (1996); IEEE-SP Soc. Tech. Achievement Award (2000)


My general interests span the areas of communications and signal processing, estimation and detection theory, time-series analysis, and system identification. Specific areas of expertise have included (poly)spectral analysis, wavelets, cyclostationary, and non-Gaussian signal processing with applications to array and image processing. Current research topics focus on transmitter and receiver diversity techniques for single- and multi-user fading communication channels, compensation of nonlinear amplifier effects, redundant precoding and space-time coding for block transmissions, multicarrier, and wide-band wireless communication systems.
