Research Laboratories
Biomedical Signal Processing Laboratory
The mission of the BSP lab is to increase our collective
knowledge of how useful information can be extracted
from physiologic signals. We primarily focus on clinical
projects in which the extracted information can help
physicians make better critical decisions and improve
patient outcome.
Digital Signal Processing Laboratory
A 250-sqft laboratory is available for students to design
a complete DSP based electronic system. The DSP Lab
has 9 DSP development stations. Each station is
equipped with a Tektronix function generator, a
Tektronix oscilloscope, a PC and a Texas Instruments
TMS320c31 DSP development system.
Evolvable Systems Laboratory
The purpose of this lab is to investigate how hardware
can self-adapt, via autonomous reconfiguration, to
compensate for failures or a changing operational
environment. The methods used rely heavily on the use
of evolutionary algorithms, which emulate natural
selection as found in nature, to modify reconfigurable
hardware. The emphasis of current work is to explore
reconfiguration as a fault recovery method for
autonomous hardware.
Analog Circuit Design and Test (FAB 60-22)
A 300-sqft laboratory is available to design discrete or
integrated filters and test their performance. The
laboratory has workstations and the necessary design and
simulation software (Cadence, Mentor Graphics,
Tektronix Analog Design System (ADE), Magic, SPICE).
Test and measurement equipment to permit measuring
the frequency response of filters from DC to several GHz
is available. Our lab is closely affiliated with the IC
Design and Test Lab.
Biomedical Micro Devices And Nanotechnology
Laboratory
The focus of this laboratory is to develop "Detect-toWarn" and "Detect-to-Treat" Sensors by amalgamating
Micro and Nano fabrication technologies with Photonics,
Electronics, Micro fluidics and Biology, towards
integration on a wireless transmission platform. The goal
of this research group is to address the local and regional
needs for sensing, testing and diagnostic tools.
