Darryl Morrell (Arizona State)

Darryl Morrell received the BS, MS, and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Brigham Young University, Utah.

Since graduation he has worked in the electrical engineering department of Arizona State University as an assistant professor (from 1988 to 1994) and as an associate professor (from 1994 to the present). While at ASU, he has received research funding from the Army Research Office, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, and DARPA to investigate different aspects of Bayesian decision theory, with applications to target tracking, target identification, and other inference problems. He is currently funded by AFOSR and DARPA to investigate sensor configuration and scheduling problems in the context of complex sensor systems and sensor networks. In this work, he has applied Bayesian decision tools including graphical models, Markov decision processes, and dynamic programming to solve sensor configuration problems.

Dr. Morrell is a senior member of the IEEE. From 1990 to 1992 he served as president of the Phoenix chapter of the IEEE Communications/Signal Processing Society and currently serves as the chapter Secretary/Treasurer. From 1994 to 2000 he served as Finance Chair of ICASSP'99 and from 1995 to 1997 he served as Vice Chair of the Technical Program Committee for GLOBECOM'97. He has reviewed papers for the IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, and the IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems. He is the co-recipient (with A. Papandreou-Suppappola) of the 2003 IEEE Phoenix Section Outstanding Faculty for Research award for research contributions in signal processing.
