Courses
Introduction to continuous-time signal analysis and linear systems. Topics include classification of signals and systems, basic signal manipulation, system properties, time domain analysis of continuous-time linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, Laplace transform and its use in LTI system analysis, transfer functions and feedback, frequency response and analog filters, Fourier series representation and properties, continuous-time Fourier transform, spectral analysis and AM modulation, and simulation. Students learn to use signal analysis tools.
Topics of timely interest in electrical and computer engineering. Course content may change from year to year according to instructor's preferences.
Introduction to optics and photonics. Optics is the study of light in its simplest form by treating light as rays. On the other hand, photonics treats light as an ensemble of photons. This course provides the fundamentals needed for optical engineering and optical system design, and the principles to model optical systems with varying degrees of fidelity. This course will discuss the duality of light, its generation and detection mechanism, and describe the physical principles that determine how rays behave at various interfaces. Natural optical phenomena such as rainbows and mirages, and classical optical systems such as prisms, telescopes, and cameras, will be analyzed throughout the course. Linear systems will be introduced to analyze more complex optical systems.

Ana Doblas received her BS, MS, and PhD degrees in Physics from the Universitat de València, Spain, in 2010, 2011, and 2015, respectively. After she finished her PhD work, she joined the Optical Coherence Imaging Laboratory under the supervision of Dr. Oldenburg (Department of Physics and Astronomy, the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, NC) where she did her 1-year Postdoc. From 2016 to 2023, she joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Memphis (Memphis, TN), firstly as a Research Assistant Professor (2016-2018), and later as an Assistant Professor (2019-2023). Ana is the Principal Investigator of the Optical Imaging Research Laboratory (OIRL). Her current research interests are focused on optical engineering, computational optics, and three-dimensional imaging with a special interest in the design of novel microscopic imaging systems and their applications. The mission of her lab is to integrate research and education to stimulate interest in Optical Engineering, providing students and the Optics community with a unique set of skills for designing and building future technologies in Optics and Photonics. Since 2012, she has been the author of 40 peer-reviewed scientific journals, her work has been presented at over eighty international conferences, and she is co-inventor of three US patents.
