About Me
An engineering educator currently serving as the Dean of the Newark College of Engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Studies system theory and control, decision theory, detection and estimation, robotics and navigation, decision fusion, data fusion, and distributed detection.
Recent studies of applications -- (1) automatic tracking and motility analysis of human sperm in time-lapse images; and (2) real-time hypoxia prediction in humans who operate in high altitudes for prolonged durations.
Major recognitions: C. Holmes MacDonald Outstanding Teaching Award (HKN); NSF Presidential Young Investigator; Fellow of the IEEE “for contributions to the theory of decision fusion and distributed detection"; IEEE Haradan Pratt Award.
