Robert Amelard

My research passions lie broadly in the realm of computer vision with a HCI/human factors twist. I am focusing my PhD thesis work on extracting hemodynamic information from videos. For my Master's, I designed intuitive image features to help doctors make more accurate diagnoses of melanoma. Apart from medical image processing, I have also dappled with remote sensing (hyper- & multi-spectral) and photogrammetry (3D stereo vision).

Kaylen Pfisterer

I am passionate about working collaboratively to solve applied research problems. I have a biomedical science background with a Master’s in nutrition and physiology. I am focusing my PhD thesis work on pushing the boundaries in nutrition research methods for application in our aging population and beyond. Specifically, I am developing a non-contact multispectral imaging system geared for nutrient sensing on a smartphone. My dream is to marry lab quality results with the ease of on-site, real-time measurements for a reliable and less burdensome alternative to pen and paper methods of food-intake and nutrient intake analysis.
