Courses

Introduction to continuous-time signal analysis and linear systems. Topics include classification of signals and systems, basic signal manipulation, system properties, time domain analysis of continuous-time linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, Laplace transform and its use in LTI system analysis, transfer functions and feedback, frequency response and analog filters, Fourier series representation and properties, continuous-time Fourier transform, spectral analysis and AM modulation, and simulation. Students learn to use signal analysis tools.

Investigations of a fundamental and/or applied nature intended to develop design techniques, research techniques, initiative and independent inquiry. A written project report has to be completed by the student and approved by the student's advisor. Admission is based on a formal proposal endorsed by an advisor and approved by the ECE Graduate Program Director.

Allows study into areas not included in the formal course listings.

Allows completion of a numbered course formally in the graduate program listing but not being offered as a scheduled class.

Investigations of a fundamental and/or applied nature, intended to develop design techniques,research techniques, initiative, and independent inquiry. A written thesis must be completed in accordance with the rules of the Graduate School and the College of Engineering. Completion of the course requires a successful oral defense open to the public and a written thesis approved by the student's thesis committee unanimously and the ECE Graduate Program Director. Admission to the course is based on a formal thesis proposal endorsed by the student's graduate committee and submitted to the ECE Graduate Program Director.

Research for and preparation of doctoral dissertation proposal. The dissertation proposal must provide a thorough survey of the research activities in the research topic area and it must present original and innovative research ideas and preliminary results as well as a defined research scope and directions. PhD students must have passed this course before registering for doctoral dissertation research credits. This course may also be applied toward MS thesis or project credit if PhD student leaves prior to completing their dissertation. In all cases, required deliverables are an oral defense and a written document approved by the student's committee.Graded P/F.

Ana Doblas received her BS, MS, and PhD degrees in Physics from the Universitat de València, Spain, in 2010, 2011, and 2015, respectively. After she finished her PhD work, she joined the Optical Coherence Imaging Laboratory under the supervision of Dr. Oldenburg (Department of Physics and Astronomy, the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, NC) where she did her 1-year Postdoc. From 2016 to 2023, she joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Memphis (Memphis, TN), firstly as a Research Assistant Professor (2016-2018), and later as an Assistant Professor (2019-2023). Ana is the Principal Investigator of the Optical Imaging Research Laboratory (OIRL). Her current research interests are focused on optical engineering, computational optics, and three-dimensional imaging with a special interest in the design of novel microscopic imaging systems and their applications. The mission of her lab is to integrate research and education to stimulate interest in Optical Engineering, providing students and the Optics community with a unique set of skills for designing and building future technologies in Optics and Photonics. Since 2012, she has been the author of 40 peer-reviewed scientific journals, her work has been presented at over eighty international conferences, and she is co-inventor of three US patents.
