Senior Algorithm Scientist, AuthenTec Inc., Melbourne, Florida April 2003- present
AuthenTec, a spinoff of Harris Corporation, is presently the leading fingerprint sensor company. My research focus has been on designing indexing algorithms using non parametric functional estimation techniques and multimodal biometrics solutions for uniquely small sensors. Several US Patents will be filed in the near future.

Outside my work at AuthenTec, I have continued to perform research work with my past colleagues, in the areas of 4D data compression [2, 19], augmented reality [15], face analysis [18] and independent component analysis [16].

Vice President of R&D, Advanced Interfaces(AI), State College, Pennsylvania Jun 2002- Apr 2003

Reported To: Dr. Rajeev Sharma, CEO, Advanced Interfaces; (co-affiliation) Associate Prof., CSE Department, Penn State University.

I was primarily responsible for winning research grants [RG4,RG5] which was vital for AI's research program, jointly held with the Computer Science department of Penn State. Also, my research focus there was mainly in human computer interaction [3], surveillance, face analysis and classification.


Assistant Professor, Computer Engineering Division,
Electrical and Computer Engineering Dept.,
National University of Singapore (NUS)
  April 1998-May 2002

Reported to: Prof. Ashraf Kassim, Deputy Head (Academic), ECE Department, NUS.

My primary research focus at the NUS, a premier research university in the Asia-Pacific region, was in the area of 3D image analysis [5,6,10], application of non parametric statistics in structure from motion [4], face image analysis for posture as well as emotion classification [7,8]., and multimodal signal analysis [9].

Research grants won were mainly geared towards 3D image analysis for realizing virtual and augmented reality environments [RG1,RG2], and multi-modal image analysis [RG3].

Invited Researcher, Advanced Telecommunications Research (subsidiary of NTT), Kyoto, Japan   April 1996- April 1998
Supervisor: Dr. Jun Ohya

At the Media Integration and Communications Research laboratory, my research focus was on 3D image analysis, with applications in novel view generation [11,12].

Graduate Research Associate, The Ohio State University   Sep 1990 - Mar 1996

Advisor: Prof. Kim L. Boyer

My research focus here was mainly on object recognition using large modelbases. I investigated information theoretic dissimilarity measures for modelbase clustering, and developed a framework for fast indexing and search [1,13,14, 38] .

I also investigated the problem of registration of disparate datasets (namely, aerial imagery and digital elevation maps) [39].
