Owen and Jinzhu are alums from my Fall 2016 Machine Learning course and decided to pursue research projects. Somayeh comes to us from the UCF Center for Research in Computer Vision, where she received her M.S. degree. Matthew and Sam were both selected to be a part of the Science Scholars Program at Temple.

I have been named to the Editorial Board of Machine Vision and Applications Journal as an Associate Editor.

Our paper, "Echocardiogram Localization Using Barycentric Interpolation", has been accepted for presentation at the International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI'17) in Melbourne, Australia. This paper is the result of an ongoing collaboration with clinicians and researchers at Carolinas Medical Center (CMC). This is also Jamie's first publication. Congrats Junjie and Jamie!
