Interests
Much of my research has been devoted to autonomous target recognition. A direct result of this research was the development of the theory of image algebra, the theory of morphological neural networks, the notion of dendritic computing, and the notion of the generalized matrix product and its applications. My current research efforts cover such diverse areas as mine detection in the acoustic domain as well as in hyperspectral imagery, biomimetics, autonomous guidance of spinning projectiles, and further research in the area of artificial neurons with dendritic and axonal tree structures.
Education
- Ph.D., University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1971.
