Pete Bernardin
(M’ 90, SM’ 98) received a B.S. in mathematics from Villanova University in
1973 and a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from The Johns Hopkins School of
Medicine in 1979. His graduate work included research in auditory systems,
applying mathematics and signal processing to the neural processes of hearing.
He has over 20 years experience in solving engineering and mathematical
problems with digital methods. He has worked in the Radar and Digital Systems
division of Texas Instruments, and the Advanced Technology Lab of RCA. He has
worked as an image processing consultant for NASA, as a digital signal
processing staff specialist for Tandy Corporation. He was a Manager for
Wireless RF engineering and a Senior Manager for Broadband Wireless product
development at Nortel Networks at
Dr. Bernardin is the author
of two books concerning numerical computation for engineering and scientific
applications. He holds seven patents in the area of Wireless RF Coverage
Estimation for Cellular systems. He is also the author of several research
papers covering a broad range of technical areas which include image
processing, radar, spectral estimation and wireless communications.
