 Hai Deng |
Hai Deng, Assistant Professor,
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Dr. Hai Deng received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 2000, and taught electrical engineering at University of New Orleans and University of North Texas from 2001 to 2009. He joined Florida International University as a faculty member in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in fall 2009. Dr. Deng’s major research interests are radar signal processing and radar sensor networks. He was the first researcher proposing the concept of orthogonal netted radar systems based on orthogonal waveforms to maximally improve radar performance. Dr. Deng has published more than 70 journal and conference papers and served as the Principal Investigator of several federal-funded radar research projects. Currently he is conducting a three-year research project on “Signal processing for MIMO radar” funded by the US Air Force Research Lab. Dr. Deng is a senior member of the IEEE and an associate editor of the Journal of the Franklin Institute. |
