Biography

Erik Perrins has been with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science since 2005, where he is currently the Charles E. & Mary Jane Spahr Professor and the Department Chair.

His research and teaching interests are in the broad area of wireless communications. His current research topics include modulation and coding techniques, receiver synchronization (frequency, phase, and symbol timing estimation), noncoherent and differentially coherent detection, communication over fading channels, energy efficient communications, multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) architectures, and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM). He also has current research topics at the intersection of wireless communications and digital hardware design, where he is studying efficient and rapid implementation architectures for reduced-complexity-yet-near-optimal decoders and demodulators.
