Paul Gader

Paul Gader received his Ph.D. degree in mathematics in 1986 from the University of Florida. He has worked as a Senior Research Scientist at Honeywell's Systems and Research Center, as a Research Engineer and Manager at the Environmental Research Institute of Michigan, and as a faculty member at the University of Wisconsin, the University of Missouri, and the University of Florida, where he is currently a Professor of computer and information science and engineering. He led teams involved in real-time, handwritten address recognition systems for the US postal service developing algorithms for handwritten digit recognition and segmentation, numeric field recognition, word recognition, and line segmentation. He has led teams that devised and tested several real-time algorithms in the field for mine detection. He served as a Technical Director of the University of Missouri MURI on Humanitarian Demining for two years. He is currently involved in landmine detection projects investigating handheld and ground-based detection systems, acoustic detection, EO/IR detection of mines and trip-wires, hyperspectral detection, and multisensor fusion. Dr. Gader is a Senior Member of the IEEE and has over 165 technical publications in the areas of image and signal processing, applied mathematics, and pattern recognition, including over 50 refereed journal articles.
