BME 271 Signals and Systems
Instructor: Joseph Izatt
Next Offered: Spring 2013
Course Objectives: This course covers the fundamental groundwork for linear and time-invariant (LTI) analysis of systems. Such analysis is critical for more advance signal and image processing techniques. Example topics covered this course include convolution, deconvolution, Fourier series, Fourier transform, sampling, and the Laplace transform. Continuous and discrete formulations with emphasis on computational and simulation aspects and selected biomedical examples are also included. This course does not include lab sessions but includes heavy homework problem sets.;ojjojp
Prerequisites: BME 253L or ECE 110L and Math 216 or 356
Suggested Text Book: Signals and Systems, 2nd Edition, by Simon Haykin and Barry Van Veen
BME 436 Biophotonic Instrumentation
Instructor: Joseph Izatt
Next Offered: Fall 2013
Course Objectives: This course covers the theory and laboratory practice in optics, and in the design of optical instruments for biomedical applications. Section I focuses on basic optics theory and laboratory practice. Section II focuses on deeper understanding of selected biophotonic instruments, including laboratory work. Section III comprises the design component of the course. In this part, student teams are presented with a design challenge, and work through the steps of engineering design culminating in building a prototype solution to the design challenge. Lecture topics include engineering design, intellectual property protection, engineering ethics, and safety.
Prerequisite: (BME 354L and Statistics 130) or (BME 354L and Math 230/Statistics 250 and Math 342/Statistics 250) and senior standing;
Suggested Text Book: none
