Faculty & Staff

All the faculty of the Electrical & Computer Engineering Department are devoted to both teaching and research. Because of this and the university's size, the students have far more access to the faculty, both in and out of the classroom than at most other universities. This allows for a much more personal, one-on-one educational experience.

	Mark J. Paulik, Ph.D. Professor and Chair Dr. Mark J. Paulik is Professor and Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UDM. He teaches courses in Engineering Design, Digital Signal and Image Processing, Embedded Systems, Hardware Description Languages, Digital Logic, and Controls. His areas of interest and expertise include Digital Signal and Image Processing, Engineering Education Pedagogy, Embedded systems, and Autonomous vehicle sensor and Navigation systems. His publications have focused on industrial and military object identification, handwritten signature analysis, and modern educational pedagogy. He is currently doing research on the combined use of computational intelligence techniques for vehicular fault detection, diagnosis, and health monitoring. He holds the Bachelor of Electrical Engineering Degree from the University of Detroit, the Science Masters Degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the Ph.D. Degree from Oakland University.

	Nizar Al-Holou, Ph.D. Professor Professor teaches courses on Digital Logic, Computer Networks, Microprocessors, Computer Architecture, and Electrical Circuits. His aread of expertise is in Digital Systems, Microprocessors, Fuzzy Logic, GPS, Real-time Architecture. The main thrust of his research activities at UDM can be divided into two primary areas: (1) distributed processing systems with an emphasis on automotive applications; and (2) development and delivery of computer-based instruction in electroscience curriculum. In the distributed processing systems, fault-tolerant architecture has been developed for automotive applications and modeled. Moreover, a system architecture approach to integrate CAN, MOST and wireless communication system into the car environment has been developed. This new infrastructure can provide an entirely new type of service in addition to current services that can be delivered to cars in an effiecient and secure way through wireless data connectivity over the Internet. He was selected and printed in the Who's Who in Midwest 1994 and Who's Who Among America's teachers, 5th edition, 1998.Dr. Al-Holou is a Senior IEEE member.
