Abstract
BIOGRAPHY Mr. Andrew Cavanaugh is a M.S. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at WPI. Since completing his B.S. EE degree at The University of Rhode Island in 2008, he has served as a research assistant in the WPI Precision Personnel Location Laboratory. His research is focused on improving the accuracy of the WPI Precision Personnel Location system, using Bayesian methods to fuse diverse sources of information. Mr. Matthew Lowe has been attending WPI since 2005, and is currently working towards his M.S. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Precision Personnel Location Laboratory. Mr. Lowe has done funded research in the areas of applied mathematics, signal processing, and is currently focused on developing the tools necessary to efficiently fuse information from pressure, inertial, magnetic, and other sensors for use in location solutions. Dr. David Cyganski is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at WPI where he performs research and teaches linear and non-linear multidimensional signal processing, communications and computer networks. He is an active researcher in the areas of radar imaging, automatic target recognition, machine vision, and protocols for computer networks. He is coauthor of the book Information Technology: Inside and Outside. Prior to joining the faculty at WPI, he was an MTS at Bell Laboratories and has since held the administrative positions of Vice President of Information Systems and Vice Provost at WPI. He is a member of IEEE and a member of ION. Dr. R. James Duckworth is an Associate Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at WPI. He obtained his Ph.D. in parallel processing from the University of Nottingham in England. He joined WPI in 1987. Duckworth teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in computer engineering focusing on microprocessor and digital system design, including using VHDL and Verilog for synthesis and modeling. His main research area is embedded system design. He is a fellow of the BCS, a senior member of the IEEE, a member of ION and the IEE.
