GENERAL AND TECHNICAL ACTIVITY

Possess electrical engineering, and operations research (computer applications, applied mathematics) training and skill. Substantial research and teaching in image analysis and computer education. Service to federal agencies includes activities sponsored by contractors such as Aerospace, Rand, etc. UCLA committee service Continuing and Community Education. Consulted by lawyers, medical doctors.

Pattern analysis is central to image, waveform, and statistical work done in research and application modes. Published papers while a Ph.D. student. Accomplishments recognized by book citations. Organized graduate courses. Taught and managed large numbers of undergraduates in data structures and project design courses. Work in both visual and auditory domains, and also in numerical signal analysis. Pioneered in examining how human interactive systems allow judgment to impact evolving conditions. Work repeatedly recognized by professional appointments, invited publications, and visiting lectureships as Workshop on Image Processing and Related Mathematical Problems, Zhejiang University, May 2004.
