Bio
Dr. Toler-Franklin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer & Information Science & Engineering at the University of Florida where she directs the Graphics, Imaging & Light Measurement Laboratory (GILMLab). Prior to joining the faculty at UF, Dr. Toler-Franklin was a University of California President’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the Computer Science Department at UC Davis and a researcher at the CITRIS Banatao Institute at UC Berkeley. Dr. Toler-Franklin was the first African American to earn a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Princeton University. She obtained a Master of Science degree from the Cornell University Program of Computer Graphics and a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cornell University.
Dr. Toler-Franklin has considerable industry experience, having worked at Autodesk, Adobe and Google. Her research lies at the intersection of Computer Vision, Graphics and Optics, focusing on 3D Data Acquisition, Physically-Based Appearance Modeling, Imaging Spectroscopy, Machine Learning and Non-Photorealistic Rendering. Dr. Toler-Franklin was awarded the 2013 NSF iDigBio Visiting Scholar Award to support her current work developing new optical capture techniques and image processing algorithms to analyze the shape and appearance of complex biological materials from rare collections of biological specimens. In collaboration with the UF Shands Hospital Oncology Department, Dr. Toler-Franklin is developing new computer vision algorithms and display technologies to assist with the diagnosis of metastatic cancer.
