Implementation
of particle filters
Current status: In my group, significant work has been done on simplifying particle filtering algorithm so that it can be used in real-time applications. Some of the modified algorithms are implemented in FPGAs and the improvements are demonstrated.
Vision: To reduce the gap between the theory and real-time implementation of statistical signal processing algorithms.

Speech enhancement for hearing aids
Current status: We successfully applied novel statistical signal processing algorithms called particle filters to speech enhancement problems. The main improvements are in the domain of intelligibility of enhanced speech.
Vision: To apply developed methods to hearing aids in order to improve intelligibility of speech and to enhance algorithms for binaural processing.

Modular Design of Configurable/Reconfigurable systems
Current status:
Research is related to development of optimization algorithms for instruction set extension identification
under global, and solver execution time constraints as well as to design space
exploration of configurable hardware blocks.
Vision: To implement a system that can automatically analyze the user code to recognize specific patterns suitable for hardware implementation, and automatically generate a configurable processor or a multi-processor system based on user requirements.

Using
RFID technology for mining service industry
Current status:
The project is related to development of technology for inventory management of
explosive devices and materials, and reducing danger to personnel and machines
by finding unfired detonators and boosters. It includes simulations and
development of RFID system for detection of buried tags.
Vision: To extend the project to detection and location of all kinds of buried objects.
