Abhishek Kumar
I received my B.Tech. degree in Aerospace Engineering from IIT Kharagpur (India). After that I worked for six years in the field of Car tracking, Human detection, Online handwriting recognition in start-up companies around India. My objective in completing my MASc is to get better insight in the various challenging but practical problems in the field of machine vision.
Steven Leigh
I received my undergrad degree in Systems Design Engineering from the University of Waterloo in 2011. I continued into a masters degree in the same department under the supervision of Professor David Clausi. I gained some experience of how the human brain processes visual information while working in the Computational Neuroscience Research Group at the University of Waterloo for 8 months.

Kurtis McBride
Kurtis McBride completed his BASc (2004) and MASc (2007) in Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo. During his MASc, he conducted research in the VIP lab building algorithms to interpret the movement of vehicles through a traffic intersection in a digital video. This work was successful and transferred by Kurtis to his spinoff company, Miovision Technologies Incorporated, which now specializes in video analytics in the traffic data collection industry. Kurtis is not only one of the founders, but he remains as the original CEO. Now based in adjacent Kitchener, Ontario, Miovision continues to grow and generate revenue under Kurtis' leadership.
Akshaya Mishra
After completing his Ph.D. Akshaya worked for one year for Tornado Medical Systems, where he developed algorithms for reconstruction and analysis of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) signals. Recently, Akshaya has joined Miovision Technologies Pvt. Ltd to work in the areas of intelligent traffic data analysis and management. Akshaya's interest includes but are not limited to document image analysis, medical image reconstruction and analysis with a focus on Optical Coherence Tomography signals, traffic data analysis and management, quantitative image quality assessment and modeling and optimization of data of any kind
Azadeh Mohebi
Short biography
As a PhD student at the Department of Systems Design Engineering, Azadeh Mohebi started her research with Professor Fieguth in the VIP lab on the statistical fusion of scientific images. Her research was specifically on fusing 2D high-resolution images and MRI low-resolution samples of porous media, using statistical models to generate artificial 2D images with higher resolution.
