Education
Ph.D. 1990, Electrical Engineering, University of Rhode Island
M.S. 1985, Physics/Optics, Sichuan University (China)
B.S. 1982, Physics/Optics, Sichuan University (China)

Research Interests
General area of interest is signals and systems, including digital signal/image processing, control, communication, and computer system integration.

--Digital signal processing: array signal processing, parameter estimation, spectrum analysis, system identification, kalman filtering, target tracking, neural network. These techniques are widely used for radar, sonar, radio, seismic, speech and other signal processing in applications of electronic surveillance, telecommunications, astronomy, geography, oceanography, and bio-medical science.

--Image processing: imaging (digital/optical/acoustic), wavelet analysis, image compression and transmission, computer vision. Advanced techniques in these area are demanded in bio-medical engineering, remote sensing, HDTV.

--Communication: mobile and wireless communication, coding technique for fault-tolerant computering.

--Computer system integration: special-purpose computers and workstations are to be integrated with signal/image processing elements, for instance, CAD/CAM/CAE workstations.

Jeff Hoffman & Don Tornquist have been chosen for the 2009-2010 ECE Undergraduate Honors Program. The program enables undergraduates to go beyond their normal studies to work with faculty in the area of their choice: research, entrepreneurship or innovation.

Robert Daasch

Dr. Robert Daasch has won the Semiconductor Research Corporation 2009 Technical Excellence Award. It is the second highest research award in the SRC. The Technical Excellence Award was established as an incentive and recognition program for research of exceptional value to GRC members. Authorized by the Board of Directors in December 1991, the award is intended to complement the Inventor Recognition Award. The Technical Excellence Award is shared among key contributors for innovative technology that significantly enhances the productivity/
competitiveness of the semiconductor industry. To date 25 research efforts have received the award. The 2008 Technical Excellence Award was presented to a team of researchers from Portland State University led by Professor W. Robert Daasch, and supported by students Liwei Ning (PhD 2009), and Amit Nahar (MS 2006) for their research, "Burn-in Reduction: Improving Outlier Screening".
