    Areas of Research Interests [Goto Top]

    Dr. Huang's primary research interests are in the general areas of statistical communications and signal processing. His areas of expertise includes signal detection and estimation, parameter estimation, adaptive signal processing, array signal processing, interference suppression for wireless communications, and set-membership filtering (SMF) and identification. Dr. Huang has made fundamental contributions to set-membership identification and filtering with applications to adaptive signal processing. His recent work focused on development of set-membership filtering with applications to adaptive equalization and interference suppression in multiuser communications and MIMO wireless communications. His research group at Notre Dame has developed a novel adaptive equalization paradigm, U-SHAPE (Updater-SHared Adaptive Parallel Equalization), and SMART (Set-Membership Adaptive Recursive Techniques), a toolbox for set-membership adaptive filtering. These techniques are viable alternatives to conventional algorithms, such as least-mean-squares (LMS) and recursive least squares (RLS), for interference suppression in multiuser wireless communications as they offer fast tracking at low computational costs. They also have developed novel MMSE parallel interference cancellation techniques for wireless communication systems, employing SMF for effective channel estimation. They are also developing SMF-based estimation and fusion algorithms for distributed sensor networks, featuring discerning cooperation and communications among sensor nodes. Dr. Huang received the Golden Jubilee Medal from the Circuits and Systems Society of the IEEE in 1999, and has served as a Distinguished Lecturer on Adaptive Signal Processing for Communications of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society in 200-2001. Dr. Huang is a Fellow of the IEEE.
