Research

Statistical Signal Processing with applications in biomedical imaging and communications. The current and past projects include image segmentation, reconstruction and registration of different imaging modalities, UWB channel modeling and capacity evaluation, and intra-vehicle wireless sensor network.

“(My) research is in the area of statistical signal processing with applications in biomedicine and communications. The extraction, modeling and analysis of signals or parameters from noisy measurements have broad range of practices in science and engineering, and in the industries of defense, finance, health care and telecommunications.” -Jia Li, 2013
