Detection and Estimation

Richard E. Blahut

A major project of Prof. Blahut's for the past decade has been his authorship of a series of advanced textbooks on the mathematical aspects of statistical information processing, including information theory, communications theory, surveillance theory, error-control codes, and signal processing. He was a systems consultant to Ioptics, Incorporated, Bellevue, Washington.

Todd P. Coleman

Prof. Coleman's work is chiefly in the areas of network information theory and computational neuroscience.

Naira Hovakimyan

Naira Hovakimyan's current research interests are in the theory of robust adaptive control and estimation with an emphasis on aerospace applications, control in the presence of limited information, networks of autonomous systems, and game theory. Her research work is being supported by AFOSR, ARO, AFRL, ONR, NASA, and The Boeing Co.

Negar Kiyavash

In the area of digital rights management (DRM), Negar Kiyavash focuses on copyright protection, including digital watermarking and digital fingerprinting, steganography, and information-theoretic and algebraic DRM. In the area of biometrics, she is working on biometric authentication and biometric-aided access-based control.

Feng Liang

Feng Liang's research interests include Bayesian methods, decision theory, information theory, the minimum description length principle, and data mining.

Pierre Moulin

Professor Moulin's research involves the development of novel methods for modeling and processing signals, images, and video, with a focus on problems of compression, restoration, and, more recently, information hiding and authentication. Applications of interest include videoconferencing, digital TV, multimedia services, and computed imaging.

Venugopal V. Veeravalli

Veeravalli conducts research in wireless communications, sensor networks, detection and estimation theory, and information theory. The broad goals of his research program are (i) to develop techniques for optimizing the quality and capacity of wireless telecommunication systems; and (ii) to develop a framework for the design, analysis and use of sensor networks.
