I
am an assistant professor in the departments of Ophthalmology and
Biomedical Engineering (secondary appointment). Before this, I was a
postdoctoral member
of the Duke Advanced
Research in SDOCT Imaging (DARSI) Laboratory at the Ophthalmology Department,
and the Laboratory
for Biophotonics at the BioMedical Engineering
Department (supported in
part
by a North Carolina Biotechnology Center
grant). I spent six years in the beautiful
For
some strange reasons my research
interest is in information processing. More specifically, my main areas
of research are ophthalmic imaging
and image
processing, segmentation, super-resolution,
demosaicing/deblurring/denoising, motion estimation,
adaptive sampling, sensor fusion, photonic imaging through scattering
media,
optical coherence tomography (OCT), and X-ray imaging. When I'm not busy developing a mathematical model of the
procrastination theory, I'm a
reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Image
Processing, IEEE Transactions on
Signal Processing, IEEE Transactions on
Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, IEEE Transactions on
Circuits and
Systems for Video Technology, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and
Systems, IEEE
Transactions on Multimedia, IEEE Signal Processing Letters,
IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, IEEE Journal of Selected
Topics in Signal Processing,
Image and Vision Computing
Journal, Signal
Image and
Video Processing, EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing, Signal
Processing: Image Communication Journal, International Journal
of Wavelets Multiresolution and Information Processing, Journal of Electronic Imaging, Applied Optics, Optical
Engineering, British Journal of Ophthalmology, and
related
conferences. Feel free to send me
an email if
you have questions about my research/publications.
There are
openings for postdocs and
exceptional graduate/undergraduate students (BME, EE, CE,
or CS).
POSTDOCTORAL Research Associate Positions: Successful
candidates will collaborate with me and senior professors in the
departments of Ophthalmology and BME on
projects that are mainly focused on detection and
segmentation of pathological features in ophthalmic images and/or
adaptive
ophthalmic imaging and image reconstruction. No previous
experience in ophthalmic sciences is necessary. The postdoc applicant
must have
peer-reviewed
publications
in the high impact computer vision and/or image processing
journals/conferences (TIP,
PAMI, TMI, CVPR, etc). Aside from the theoretical work, these projects
involve software development and the applicant must be fluent in at
least one
programming
language. If interested please send me your CV via email. Undergraduate/Graduate
Student: Duke
students interested in image processing/ophthalmology related projects
can
contact me directly via email or drop by my office. Graduate
Student (filled):Thanks
to a Knights Templar Eye Foundation, Inc. Pediatric Ophthalmology Research Grant there
is funding available for (currently) one year support of a graduate
student to work on an ophthalmic image fusion and enhancement
problem.
Current Duke students of all disciplines who have
background in image processing and are
fluent in at
least one
programming
language are encouraged to contact me directly. Support for more than
one year is possible but not guaranteed.
* Please send me links to files instead of attachments (especially if they are in any format but PDF), since I usually ignore emails with attachments. Also, please do not send me emails in any language but English or Gathic Avestan. *If
you don't receive an
email reply in 7 days: My apologies, it might be deleted by the SPAM
filter. Feel free to call me instead. *Here is a picture of me from the good old days in
Santa Cruz, and
a photo few month after joining Duke. |
