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.
