News Dr. Luis ChaparroDr. Luis ChaparroAssociate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Interdisciplinary Collaboration: A Virtual Laboratory for Engineering and MathematicsDue to the cross-functional nature of the field of engineering, Luis Chaparro, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering (pictured in his Benedum Hall laboratory in the Swanson School of Engineering), has been collaborating with Juan Manfredi, professor and chair of the Department of Mathematics, to create a virtual laboratory for engineering and mathematics.
Professor Chaparro’s research interests include statistical signal processing, time-frequency analysis, nonlinear image processing, and multidimensional system theory with applications in biomedical systems and wireless communications. He is a senior member of the IEEE; associate editor of the Journal of the Franklin Institute; past associate editor of the IEEE Transaction on Signal Processing; and past member of the IEEE Technical Committee on Statistical Signal and Array Processing. He was the recipient of the Beitle-Veltri Award for Teaching Excellence in 2005, one of the Swanson School of Engineering’s most prestigious awards. |

This joint venture helps students and faculty alike by integrating instructional material for courses in linear algebra and signal processing, fields sharing a common theoretical foundation. In the virtual lab, students have access to a collection of videos and MATLAB tutorials, and faculty can use this material for classroom or Internet-based instruction. Sponsored by the Office of the Provost’s Advisory Council on Instructional Excellence as part of their Innovation in Education grant, the project employed two graduate research assistants, Hakki Ilgin (a PhD student in electrical and computer engineering, who graduated in December 2004) and Rashida Afroz (an MS student also in ECE, who graduated in April 2005), and one undergraduate research assistant, Joe Laquinte, at the time a sophomore in computer engineering. Benedum Hall
Dedicated in 1971, Benedum Hall is home to exploration and discovery.
