Classes


Learning is a process of discovery. The learning process is facilitated by traditional classroom discussions, study, and careful preparation. To the extent possible, we also incorporate research topics, teamwork and out-of-classroom perspectives into the curriculum. Learning is enhanced by getting a firsthand look at radar systems at the National Weather Service, or by examining the audio and video pathways for high-definition television signals at a local TV station, or by collecting raw data on a magnetic resonance imaging system.

Personal Information


My grandfather, Louis Frigo, and his brother, Pasquale, from Trissino Italy asked their aunt to loan them some money for a great adventure. They wanted to see America and on November 11, 1913 they arrived at Ellis Island in New York. Cheesemakers by trade, they eventually made their way to the Iron Mountain, Michigan area where they started the Frigo Brothers Cheese company in Aurora, Wisconsin in the 1920s.

I worked at the Frigo Cheese factory in Lena, Wisconsin while I was in college even though the family no longer owned the company. My father, Joe Frigo, a sixth generation cheesemaker always said "To make good cheese, you need good milk." The dairy farmers of Wisconsin, and Upper Midwest provided that priceless commodity; a product of the lush alfalfa fields, abundant corn fields, and the best dairy herds in the world.

In addition to serving as an adjunct assistant professor at Marquette University, I work for GE Healthcare in the Ultrasound Imaging group. The focus of my work and research interests are Signal Processing, Image Processing, Magnetic Resonance Image Reconstruction, Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, Echo Planar Imaging (EPI), Diffusion Weighted EPI, functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and Ultrasound Imaging.
