GENERAL AND TECHNICAL ACTIVITY

 

I have both electrical engineering education and operations research (computer applications, applied mathematics) experience, and accomplishments in research, teaching, and community service. My service to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Data Processing and Telecommunications Advisory Committee, the federal government through numerous activities (many sponsored by contractors such as Aerospace, Rand, SAIC Corps.), and the legal profession has often required use of these two kinds of skills.

 

Pattern analysis has been a fundamental strength in my work since employment when I held a master s degree. As I went from that level first as a Ph.D. graduate student, I have persisted at diverse approaches to the early classification, detection, or recognition or significant states in a multitude of applied contexts. Structural and statistical pattern recognition graduate courses I organized and taught, visual and auditory as well as general numerical signal analysis (including earthquake data), and human interactive systems allowing judgment to impact evolving conditions, have all been reflected in professional recognition, publications, and invited appointments.
