Summary:
Maite Brandt-Pearce's fundamental interest lies in deciphering stochastic signals with multiple, simultaneously received components from different sources, including co-channel interference, linear and nonlinear distortion, and noise. Specific research projects address spread-spectrum multiple-access schemes, multi-user demodulation and detection, fiber nonlinearity effects on multi-user communications, wireless infrared indoor multi-user communications, and radar signal processing of multiple targets. Secondary interests include the study of point processes, neural networks, and the use of communications for classroom enhancement.
Background:
Maite Brandt-Pearce received the B.S. in Electrical Engineering and the B.A. in Applied Mathematics from Rice University in 1985, followed by the M.E.E. in 1989. She joined the faculty at UVA after completing her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering also from Rice University in 1993. Dr. Brandt-Pearce has served on the faculty since 1993 and previously worked for four years at the Lockheed ECS in support of the NASA Johnson Space Center. She has received a National Science Foundation Research Initiation Award, an ORAU Junior Faculty Enhancement Award, and a NASA Graduate Student Researcher Fellowship. She is a member of IEEE and the honorary societies Tau Beta Pi and Eta Kappa Nu.
