Dr. Hayee's research interests are in the areas of communication systems, optical fiber communication, digital signal processing and medical instrumentation.
He completed his Ph. D. from University of Southern California, Los Angeles in Dec. 1998. After completing his Ph. D., he worked in Forward Looking Work Group of Tyco Submarine Systems, formerly known as Bell Laboratories, in New Jersey for two years performing research on techniques to improve system performance of trans-oceanic optical fiber communications systems. He later joined a start up company (currently part of Level 3 Communications) working on research and development of the state-of-the-art telecommunications products. After spending about 4 years in that start up company, he joined University of Minnesota Duluth in Fall 2004.
He is especially interested in optimizing the performance of 40Gb/s transmission through existing as well as future generation optical networks. Dispersion map optimization, new modulation formats and electronic compensation of both fiber dispersion and nonlinearities are topics of recent research and publications.
Recent research has involved examination of biomedical applications of signal processing. Specifically, this has resulted in categorizing various pathologies related to heart or other organs via acquisition of acoustic signals (heart murmur) and/or other forms of pulse pressure signals present at different parts of the human body.
Dr. Hayee holds 12 US patents and has published more than three dozen research articles in distinguished journals and conferences.
