Fanshu Jiao is a Ph.D. student. She is currently working on bipolar biquad band-pass filter design for GHz center frequency ranges. She focuses on systematic comparison methods of filters based on active-RC and GmC topologies. She obtained her Bachelor of Science Degree from University of Science and Technology of China, China.

Asher Hensley is a PhD student at Stony Brook University and a Radar Systems Engineer at Telephonics Corporation. Asher’s research aims to understand the properties of knowledge diffusion in the engineering community and the relation to emerging technologies. At Telephonics, Asher studies and evaluates the behavior of Kalman filter based tracking algorithms in conjunction with target recognition, track-before-detect, and rank order statistic detector processing. Prior to Telephonics, Asher was a research assistant at the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory in the applied image and signal-processing group where he investigated how algorithms can predict human deception in controlled experiments under different interview styles with multiple physiological sensors. Asher did his undergraduate degree at Northeastern University in Boston and his masters degree at Stony Brook University.
