Synergistic Activities: 1. I cofounded Signal Solutions, LLC based on technology developed to track sleep and wake behaviors in mice useful for high-throughput genetic studies. We currently have several active installations in the USA and in Europe and funding to expand capabilities for general tracking of animal behavior. 2. As Director of Undergraduate studies and Department Chair from 1995 to 2004, I led the department in a paradigm shift from a topic and lecture-based curriculum to a student outcome-based curriculum, and developed feedback and improvement processes. This resulted in 2 successful accreditations reviews on the ABET 2000 criteria. 3. As a member of the cognitive science interdisciplinary group at the University of Kentucky, I regularly give lectures on the cognitive components of audio and video processing of the human mind and focus on understanding and modeling these processes so they can be applied in engineering analysis and design. 4. As a participant in the REU program for the last 4 years, I have developed research projects for 6 students in underrepresented groups to work or 10 weeks in my laboratory and present their results both in oral and written form. 5. I have developed special undergraduate courses that focus on implementing signal and information processing concepts with modern software. One is a lecture and laboratory course where students write program to implement solve problems every week in areas of signal processing, communication, and control other is a senior level lecture course in audio signals and systems that has a lecture component and a studio component. (See EE422 and EE513 at http://www.engr.uky.edu/~donohue/courses.html ) 6. I have been a Co-PI and currently the PI on an NSF-EPSCoRE infrastructure grant focused on developing sensor systems and networks for scene/situation understanding and characterization. Currently we are developing a multimodal multiple sensor testbed for developing research in signal processing, sensor networks, and distributed computing with faculty computer science, electrical and computer engineering, psychology, and education.
