I am a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Florida, Department of Materials Science and Engineering which consistently ranks as one of the nation's top-10 departments by the US News and World Report. I am working on explosive detection from hyper-spectral imaging, and our current prototype has been invited to the Schipol Airport in Amsterdam for a field test at an active security checkpoint.
I received my Ph.D. in 2011 from the
CSI:Florida lab, Department of Computer and Information Science and Engineering at the
University of Florida. I received my M.Sc. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the
Computer Vision and Image Processing laboratory (CVIP), University of Louisville, USA in 2005; and my B.Sc. degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from
Middle East Technical University in 2003.
My research interests include machine learning, computer vision, medical imaging, statistical data analysis and applied math. For my Ph.D. I worked on landmine detection and context-based classification of both static and temporal data. My masters thesis was about image segmentation and registration of dynamic contrast enhanced renal MRI's for the detection of acute rejection after kidney transplantation.
