Professor
Dept.
of Bioengineering
Patrick Loughlin is a 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).
