Research

My research interests are in digital signal processing and wavelet-based image/video processing. My recent research activities focus on the design, implementation, and applications of new oriented multi-dimensional wavelet transforms; and on the development of non-Gaussian probability models for statistical signal processing.

Teaching

I have also taught EE 140: Analog and Digital Communication, EE 4414: Multimedia Communication II, and EE 2013: Fundamentals of Electric Circuits I.

Biographical Sketch

I received the BS, MEE, and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering in 1990, 1991, and 1996 from Rice University, Houston, TX. I joined Polytechnic University in 1997, where I am currently an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. In 1997, I was a visiting professor at the University of Erlangen-Nurnberg, Germany.

I received an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship in 1997, and a National Science Foundation Career award in 1999. In 2003 I received the Jacobs Excellence in Education Award from Polytechnic University. As a PhD student I received a DARPA-NDSEG fellowship in 1991. My PhD dissertation received the Budd Award for Best Engineering Thesis at Rice University in 1996 and an award from the Rice-TMC chapter of Sigma Xi.

I was an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing (2002-2007) and I am currently an associate editor of IEEE Signal Processing Letters. I have also been a member of the IEEE Signal Processing Theory and Methods Technical Committee.
