Previous Positions

• I held the Demetrius T. Paris Junior Professorship, a special chair for the development of young faculty, from 2004-2007.
• Postdoctoral Research Associate (Aug. 1998 to Aug. 2001)
  Visiting Assistant Professor (Aug. 2000 to Aug. 2002)
  Univ. of Illinois at Urbana Champaign
  Coordinated Science Laboratory
  Project: Design and Optimization of Passive and Active Imaging Radar, focusing on detection, tracking, imaging, and identification of aircraft via reflected commercial television and FM radio signals.
  Faculty: Richard Blahut, Yoram Bresler, Weng Chew, Pierre Moulin, David Munson

Education (Washington Univ. in St. Louis)

I worked in the Electronic Systems and Signals Research Laboratory. My graduate work focused on applying Grenander's pattern theory to automatic target recognition in infrared scenes. Most of this work was funded by the U.S. Army Center for Imaging Science.

Undergraduate: Triple major in computer science, electrical engineering, and music (May 1993).
As a music major, I focused on theory and composition.
