Research Interests:
Dr. Nawab studies the representation and processing of signals by computers in the context of applications such as robotic hearing, acoustic interpretation, and high-level adaptive signal processing systems. Both algorithmic and knowledge-based approaches are investigated. Emphasis is placed on fundamental concepts and techniques that have a demonstrable impact in the applications area. Each project typically involves a combination of theoretical work, exploratory computer processing of signals, and a demonstration of the utility of research results.
Graduate Students: Joseph Winograd, Ramamurthy Mani, Michael Huang, Jeffrey Ludwig
