and Bioengineering
Patrick Loughlin is William Kepler Whiteford Professor of
Electrical & Computer Engineering, and Bioengineering, at the University of
Pittsburgh, which he joined in 1993. He has made contributions to signal
processing and bioengineering, including the development and application of
nonstationary signal processing methods (especially time-frequency
distributions); analysis and modeling of human
postural control; control of inhalation anesthetic delivery; and
development of a physical model of anesthetic uptake, for which he holds two US
patents. Prof. Loughlin is
Associate Editor and member of the editorial board for the IEEE Transactions on
Biomedical Engineering; past chair of the signal processing chapter of the IEEE
(Pittsburgh Section); and member of the technical committee on acoustic signal
processing of the Acoustical Society of America. His research has been
supported by a variety of institutions, including NSF, NIH, DoD, Boeing, and
the Whitaker Foundation. He has held visiting positions at the Naval Surface
Warfare Center (Bremerton) as a US Navy/ASEE Faculty Fellow, and the Applied
Physics Laboratory (UW, Seattle). Prof. Loughlin is the recipient of young
investigator awards from the National Science Foundation (CAREER, 1996) and the
Office of Naval Research (YIP, 1998). He was awarded the Chancellor’s
Distinguished Research Award at the University of Pittsburgh in 1999.
