Sami C. Elmurr is an Associate professor of Electrical and Computer and Communications Engineering at Notre Dame University. He received his B.S, MS and PhD degrees from Mississippi State University in 1979, 1982, and 1986 respectively. From 1979-1985 he served as an instructor, teaching laboratories and courses in electrical engineering at MSU. In 1985, he joined the University of Hartford in Hartford, Connecticut as an assistant professor of electrical engineering. He was involved in teaching undergraduate courses in electrical engineering and conducting research in Trellis coding and Modulation, Digital Filters, and Spectral Estimation Techniques in Nuclear Spectroscopy. In 1997, he joined NDU as an assistant professor where he helped in developing the newly established Engineering program.
Dr. Elmurr’s Research interests include Trellis- Modulation and Coding, and Digital Signal processing applications in nuclear spectroscopy.
