Fellow, IEEE, IEEE Signal Processing Society Award


My research is primarily in the areas of statistical signal processing, communications and image processing. My students and I are especially interested in problems of wireless communications using multiple antennas, modeling of wireless channels and fading, sensor array signal processing, image enhancement, restoration, and transmission.

An example of our work in signal processing is the development of algorithms for antenna arrays for communication and accurate mobile localization. In the area of wireless communications, we have been working, most recently, on cooperative and collaborative transmission systems, in which fixed or mobile relays are used in a coordinated way to improve transmission quality and connectivity. In recent past, we have developed parametric statistical models for fading wireless channels, and space-time interference canceling receivers for CDMA systems.

Our research in image processing has concerned the development of image restoration and enhancement algorithms that are based on special partial differential equations. We have also been interested in the coding and transmission of images and video over heterogeneous networks.
