The Rice University DSP group has been conducting research in digital signal processing since 1968.  DSP research initiatives over the recent past include:

Computational Sensing

• FlatCam - world's thinnest camera
• FlatScope - for in vivo microscopy in the brain
• Universal microbial diagnostics - for microbial detection and classification
• Compressive signal processing and signal recovery
• Time of flight and phase retrieval imaging for seeing through scattering media and around corners

Deep Learning

• Spline theory of deep learning
• Probabilistic models for deep learning

Machine Learning for Education

• OpenStax Research

Support for current DSP research comes from NSF, AFOSR, ARO, ONR, IARPA, IES.
