Derek T. Anderson received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) from the University of Missouri in 2010. He is an Assistant Professor in ECE at Mississippi State University (MSU). Prof. Anderson also holds an Intermittent Faculty Appointment with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (Geospatial Sciences and Technology Branch), he is an IEEE Senior Member and Associate Editor for the IEEE Trans. on Fuzzy Systems. His research interests include new frontiers in data/information fusion for pattern recognition and automated decision making in signal understanding and computer vision with an emphasis on uncertainty and heterogeneity. Prof. Anderson’s research contributions to date include multi-source (sensor, algorithm and human) fusion, Choquet integrals (extensions, embedding’s and learning), signal/image feature learning, multi-kernel learning, cluster validation, hyperspectral image processing, and linguistic summarization of video. He has been funded by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Camgian, U.S. Army and Night Vision and Electronics Sensors Directorate (NVESD), U.S. Army Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), and DARPA. Prof. Anderson is the also the Co-Director of the Sensor Analysis and Intelligence Laboratory (SAIL) in the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems (CAVS) at MSU, a multi-disciplinary collaborative research laboratory with sensors ranging from hyperspectral in the visible, near, mid and long wave infrared to radar, lidar, stereoscopic, and light field cameras. SAIL is focused on fusion and scene/environment understanding for autonomous systems, ground vehicles, and UAS-based sensing for earth observation. Derek has published over 97 articles; book chapters, journal manuscripts and conference proceedings. More details can be found at: http://www.derektanderson.com.
