Brian D. Bue Bio
I am currently a third-year Ph.D. student in the Rice University Electrical and Computer Engineering department. My advisor at Rice is Professor Erzsébet Merényi, and my NASA technical advisor is Dr. Kiri Wagstaff of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. I am a NASA Graduate Student Researchers Program fellow (since 2007), and the title of my GSRP research proposal is "Automatic Labeling of High Dimensional Remotely Sensed Imagery via Semantic Modeling." I previously worked with Dr. Tomasz Stepinski of the Lunar and Planetary Institute on automated landform classification and crater counting using Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) data.
I am also a member of the technical staff at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the Machine Learning and Instrument Autonomy
Group.
I received a M.S. from the Purdue University
Computer Science department in 2006, a B.S. in
Computer Science and a B.A. in
Mathematics from
Augsburg College in Minneapolis, MN in 2003.
My CV is available here: [pdf]
Research Interests
My research focuses on developing machine learning and pattern recognition techniques for the analysis and visualization of high dimensional remotely sensed imagery (in particular, hyperspectral imagery) for applications in earth and planetary science.
Teaching
During Fall semester 2009, I am a assisting with Prof. Devika Subramanian's "Introduction to Computational Thinking" course. I also assisted with the same course in Fall 2008.
During Spring semester 2009, I was a teaching assistant for both ELEC502: Artificial Neural Networks with Professor Merényi and COMP540: Machine Learning with Professor Subramanian.
