Research

Development of novel biomedical measurement devices and medical image and signal processing algorithms, and, biometrics imaging and security systems, and the associated algorithms, measurement devices, and privacy and security aspects.

Application

Electrical impedance tomography for monitoring of lung and heart functions; image reconstruction algorithms for ill-conditioned systems with correlated data; statistical models to compare human versus machine face recognition; demonstrated vulnerabilities in biometric encryption; algorithms to measures of biometric information content and sample quality; measuring parameters for conducted energy weapons safety.
