Cliston L. Cole, Ph.D.

Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Morgan State University

Dr. Cliston Cole received both B.S. and M.S. degrees from Tuskegee University in Electrical Engineering. He also received a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, working in the Human Speech Recognition group under Prof. Jont Allen. Since 2020, he has been on the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering faculty at Morgan State University (MSU), where he serves as an Assistant Professor.

Dr. Cole’s research focuses on improving the quality of life for humans and protecting cyber-physical systems in networks by developing advanced software and hardware systems for biological and communication applications, such as noise reduction and accelerating hardware for emerging hearing aids. His research spans auditory psychophysics and neuroscience, algorithms and architectures for statistical signal processing and communication systems, emerging hardware for artificial intelligence, and mathematical cybersecurity for protecting information exchanges in networks, which are the fundamental driving forces for developing next-generation communication technologies and security solutions.

Before joining the electrical and computer faculty at MSU, Dr. Cole was a skilled systems and electronic engineer with Raytheon Technologies and NAVAIR, with experience in signal processing for weapon systems for DoD. In 2023, he was a recipient Summer Fellow for the Air Force Research Laboratory, where his mission was to advance reliable, stable, and sustainable communication networks under adversary attacks by implementing resilient distributed algorithms.
