A system with a feedback loop typically experiences a delay between its forward and feedback paths. This is a phenomenon commonly observed in power amplifiers and can be addressed with a Cartesian feedback linearization loop that seeks to synchronize the forward and feedback paths for optimal performance. 

The research group led by Dr. Erchin Serpedin at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Texas A&M University (College Station, TX) invites application for a postdoctoral research associate position.  The anticipated research work will lie at the interface between information theory, coding, optimization, and statistical signal processing.
