Synergistic Activities:                                                                              

 

1)      Teaching a Computer Vision course at MSU and developing a textbook, problems and projects, and web materials, all public, to support it. Many course graduates have important positions in science and industry. Five PhD graduates have tenured university positions; two more are on their way.

2)      Involved with the Sloane program in our College (Percy Pierre is PI) and active in recruiting and mentoring minority and women graduate students for over 10 years. Advised two successful women PhD graduates, both now doing significant work in industry. In the past one year, research supervised in face ID and communication has involved two undergrads, one African American, two African American MS students, and two PhD students, one Hispanic.

3)      Research and software development has resulted in a root measurement system used worldwide by plant and soil scientists and software used to found the small business, ERL,LLC Lansing, to evaluate the design of cars regarding their accommodation to the human body.

4)      Organizer of several international workshops concerning courses and learning involving computing with images, which dealt primarily with enriching undergraduate education and programming experiences via new courses or integration of image computation into existing courses.

5)      Recent work includes development and assessment of CSE programs, and especially the course CS2. This includes work as an ABET-CSAB evaluator and instructor at MSU continually developing, assessing and evaluating CS2, in particular by including multimedia data objects.
