Biography:
Christopher Pal,
PhD
Dr.
Chris Pal is an assistant professor in the department of computer and software
engineering at the École Polytechnique of Montreal. Prior to arriving in
Montreal, he was a professor in the department of Computer Science at the
University of Rochester. He has been a research scientist with the University
of Massachusetts and has also been affiliated with Microsoft Research's
Interactive Visual Media Group. His research contributions led to the filing of
three patents on image processing, computer vision and interactive multimedia.
He also worked closely with the Windows Media product group.
He
earned his M. Math and PhD from the University of Waterloo in Canada. During
his masters research he developed methods for automated cartography and the
analysis of high resolution digital aerial
photography. He was also involved with a number of software engineering
projects developing spatial databases for managing environmental information.
His PhD research led to contributions applying probability models and
optimization techniques to image, video and signal processing.
During
his PhD studies Chris was also a research assistant at the University of
Toronto in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. At Toronto he
collaborated closely with the Banting and Best
Department of Medical Research. He preformed research on image processing and
statistical methods for the analysis of large scale
genomics and computational molecular biology experiments using DNA microarrays.
Prior to his graduate studies Chris was with the multimedia research company
Interval in Palo Alto, CA (Silicon Valley). As a result of his research at
Interval he was awarded a patent on audio signal processing.
