J. Loughlin
Professor
Dept. of Bioengineering
Patrick Loughlin is a William Kepler Whiteford Professor of 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; sensorimotor integration and vibrotactile feedback; control of inhalation anesthetic
delivery; and development of a physical model of anesthetic uptake, for which
he holds two US patents. Prof. Loughlin is a Member of the Editorial Board and past
Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering; Associate Editor for
the Journal of
the Acoustical Society of America and member of the technical committee on
acoustic signal processing of the Acoustical Society of America; and past chair
of the signal processing chapter of the IEEE (Pittsburgh Section). His research
has been supported by a variety of institutions, including NIH, NSF, 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.
Dr. Loughlin is a Fellow of the American
Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), the Acoustical
Society of America (ASA), and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE).
