I am currently conducting research in several areas with common intersections. In particular, I conduct research in channel coding and modulation, application of wavelets to communications, synchronization, mapping of algorithms into VLSI, parallel processing and systolic arrays, wireless communications, software radio, multi-channel and multi-carrier communications, beamforming, LPI and spread-spectrum communications, global positioning systems, adaptive modulation and coding and cross layer optimization and data compression. Most recently, I have been doing some work on computing with Chaos and 4G LTE. Another field of recent interest to me is the field of fiber optics. In particular, I am interested in the sensory and telecommunications applications of the fiber optics technology. I also have interest in nonlinear optics and its application in integrated optics, mode locking and stablization of the laser oscillations, Holographic imaging, and non-destructive testing. I have created a Fiber Optics and a NonLinear Optics laboratory with funding from NSF (total project cost $360k), ONR (total project cost $270k), and the financial support of Hughes (now part of Boeing) aircraft and other industries. The laboratories are primarily for research purposes, but they are also used by senior undergraduate students for their senior design projects, and by Master students for their thesis
