Biography

Wayne Stark received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in 1982. Since then he has been at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where he is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He was an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Communications from 1985-1989. He received a national Science Foundation Presidential Young Investigator Award in 1985, was a member of the Board of Governors of the IEEE Information Theory Society from 1986-1988., and became an IEEE Fellow in 1998.

Research Interests

I pursue research in a range of topics related to wireless communication systems including spread-spectrum modulation, error control coding, adaptive coded-modulation, facing, multiple-access, jamming, and handoff algorithms.
