About me
Research Staff Member
Research lab: Watson Research Center (Hawthorne)
Until 28th February 2008, I was a Research Staff member at IBM's T.J.Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York. To contact me after this date, please email me at a.senior_AT_ieee.org, or visit one of my personal home pages below.
I work in the Exploratory computer vision group.
Research Interests
My main areas of research are in computer vision, pattern recognition and image processing, as well as multimedia/new media art.Current work
As part of the PeopleVision project I am currently working on visual person tracking, and ways that computer vision can enhance video privacy. This work is now part of IBM's newly released Smart Surveillance Solution.A more complete list of my current and previous research projects can be found here.

Biography
| 2001- | Research on visual person tracking in the PeopleVision project | 1996- | Research on Biometric identification (face and fingerprint recognition). In particular I worked on fingerprint classification and distortion, and have written IBM's face detection, tracking and recognition system. This is used as the visual side of the audio-visual speech recognition engine. |
| 1994-6 | Member of IBM's Handwriting Recognition Group, working on algorithms for on-line cursive handwriting recognition - getting computers to recognize handwriting written on a computer with an electronic stylus. |
| 1991-4 | Ph.D. (1994) Cambridge
University Engineering Department's
Speech, Vision and Robotics Group. My thesis `Off-line Handwriting Recognition Using Recurrent Neural Networks' was also about handwriting recognition, though this time recognizing handwriting scanned from sheets of paper, and using recurrent neural networks. |
| 1990-1 | Ingénieur de récherche at Laboratoire d'Informatique et Méchanique pour les Sciences de l'Ingénieur (LIMSI) in the Université de Paris Sud. There I worked on the European POLYGLOT project for continuous speech recognition using hidden Markov Models. |
| 1987-90 | MA in Mathematics and Electrical & Information Sciences, Trinity Hall, Cambridge University |
