PDF versionDouglas Cochran
Douglas Cochran joined the ASU faculty in 1989. Between 2000 and 2005 and again from 2008 through 2010, he was on assignment to program management positions in federal agencies, first at the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and subsequently at the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research. He served as Assistant Dean for Research in the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering between 2005 and 2008. Before coming to ASU, he was a senior scientist at BBN Laboratories. Professor Cochran has served as a visiting scientist at the Australian Defense Science and Technology Organisation, as associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, and as general co-chair for the 1999 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing and the 1997 U.S.-Australia Workshop on Defense Signal Processing. He holds PhD and SM degrees in applied mathematics from Harvard University and degrees in mathematics from UCSD and MIT.
