Research Interests My primary research aim is to advance the art and science of extracting clinically significant information from physiologic signals. To achieve this aim I founded the Biomedical Signal Processing (BSP) Laboratory at Portland State University during fall 2000. The BSP lab is composed of students, faculty, and researchers from multiple institutions and a variety of disciplines. We primarily focus on clinical projects in which the extracted information can help physicians make better critical decisions and improve patient outcome. We collaborate strongly with faculty at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU).
