Research in the Pattern Recognition and Intelligent Sensor Machines Lab lies at the interface between signal processing, pattern recognition, neural computation, robotics and sensor systems. Our interest is in understanding how sensory systems (man-made or biological) perceive, interact with, learn from and adapt to their environments under a number of modalities, including chemical, acoustic, visual, and physiological. In the process, we draw motivation from multiple disciplines, from neurobiology to perceptual psychology. Our current research projects include:

  • computational models of olfaction,
  • signal processing methods for voice conversion,
  • caricature-based face recognition, and
  • wearable physiological sensors.

Graduate Research Assistant position in Speech Processing. We are looking for a highly-qualified PhD student to pursue research in speech analysis and synthesis. The ideal candidate should have a strong background in signals and systems, as well as knowledge of pattern recognition and broad interests in speech perception by humans. Familiarity with speech technology is a plus.
Inquiries should be directed to Prof. Gutierrez-Osuna. Please include a resume in PDF/TXT format, including the names of three references. Applications are being accepted for fall 2008 until the position is filled.

Postdoc position in Neural Computation. We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to pursue research at the interface between computational neuroscience and olfactory sensor arrays. The appointment will be for 15 months; an additional 12 months may also be available subject to performance. Salary will be competitive, depending on qualifications and experience. Candidates should have or be close to completing a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computational Neuroscience, or related disciplines. To accomplish the overall goal of the project, applicants must have clearly demonstrated experience in pattern recognition, neural information processing and dynamical systems models.
Inquiries should be directed to Prof. Gutierrez-Osuna. Please include a resume in PDF/TXT format, including the names of three references. Applications are being accepted for summer/fall 2008 until the position is filled.
