     Research Interests:

      
      My main research interest is the application of Digital Signal Processing techniques including pattern recognition and neural nets to biomedical, archaeological, and speech problems.  Also of special interest is the measurement, modeling, filtering and estimation of random processes.




      Specific current research topics are clustering of archaeological data,  information fusion for electronic vision systems, nonlinear system identification of speech parameters, acoustical measurements for identification of southwestern kivas, neural networks for texture identification, ground penetrating radar for archaeology, detection and estimation of ventricular fibrillation parameters, spectral analysis, and digital signal and  image processing.
