Biomedical Signal Processing Laboratory The
mission of the BSP lab is to increase our
collective knowledge of how useful information
can be extracted from physiologic signals. We
primarily focus on clinical projects in which the
extracted information can help physicians make
better critical decisions and improve patient
outcome. Digital Signal Processing Laboratory A
250-sqft laboratory is available for students to
design a complete DSP based electronic system.
The DSP Lab has 9 DSP development stations. Each
station is equipped with a Tektronix function
generator, a Tektronix oscilloscope, a PC and a
Texas Instruments TMS320c31 DSP development
system. Evolvable Systems Laboratory The purpose
of this lab is to investigate how hardware can
self-adapt, via autonomous reconfiguration, to
compensate for failures or a changing operational
environment. The methods used rely heavily on the
use of evolutionary algorithms, which emulate
natural selection as found in nature, to modify
reconfigurable hardware. The emphasis of current
work is to explore reconfiguration as a fault
recovery method for autonomous hardware.
Analog Circuit Design and Test (FAB 60-22) A
300-sqft laboratory is available to design
discrete or integrated filters and test their
performance. The laboratory has workstations and
the necessary design and simulation software
(Cadence, Mentor Graphics, Tektronix Analog
Design System (ADE), Magic, SPICE). Test and
measurement equipment to permit measuring the
frequency response of filters from DC to several
GHz is available. Our lab is closely affiliated
with the IC Design and Test Lab. Biomedical
Micro Devices And Nanotechnology Laboratory The
focus of this laboratory is to develop
"Detect-to-Warn" and "Detect-to-Treat" Sensors by
amalgamating Micro and Nano fabrication
technologies with Photonics, Electronics, Micro
fluidics and Biology, towards integration on a
wireless transmission platform. The goal of this
research group is to address the local and
regional needs for sensing, testing and
diagnostic tools.
