Dr. Beck's role at Georgia Tech is to assist in the management of the undergraduate instructional laboratories within the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, combined with teaching undergraduate courses in his area of knowledge. As such, he is not actively engaged in a research program.
Dr. Beck's past research focused on signal processing in radio tomographic imaging (RTI) and RF sensor localization and tracking, among other topics.
Beck's teaching focuses on physical-layer telecommunications, digital signal processing, circuit analysis, and analog electronics. Dr. Beck teaches these courses at the undergraduate level and strives to make the material accessible. His instruction style emphasizes theoretical results, backed up by applications and examples where appropriate.
