Research Interests
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 non-linear distortion, and noise. Specific research projects address spread-spectrum multiple-access schemes, multi-user demodulation and detection, fiber non-linearity effects on multi-user communications, wireless infrared indoor multi-user communications, and radar signal processing of multiple targets. Secondary interests include statistical learning theory and military communications.
