Swindlehurst's research interests lie in the application of detection and estimation
theory to problems in signal processing, biomedicine and wireless communications.
Past projects include direction-of-arrival estimation, sensor array calibration, beamforming,
time-delay estimation, system identification, blind channel estimation and equalization,
space-time adaptive processing for radar, clutter modeling and mitigation, and interference/jammer
cancellation. Currently, he and his students are working on problems in MIMO wireless
communications, including space-time characterization of indoor and outdoor RF propagation,
channel estimation and performance analysis for time-varying MIMO links, downlink
beamforming in multiuser MIMO systems, and space-time processing for ad hoc networks.
Some new projects he is beginning work on include detection and feature extraction
from biological signals, multipath mitigation in geopositioning systems (GPS, GLONASS),
and using multiple antennas for enhanced physical layer security.
