|
Uvais Qidwai received his Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts–Dartmouth in 2001, where he studied in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. He got is MS(EE) in 1997 from KFUPM Saudi Arabia, and BS(EE) in 1994 from NED University of Engineering & Technology, Karachi, Pakistan. He taught in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department, Tulane University, in New Orleans as Assistant Professor, and was in-charge of the Robotics lab as well as a research member of Missile Defense Center, from June 2001 till June 2005. He joined the Computer Science and Engineering Department, Qatar University, in Fall of 2005 as Assistant Professor. His present research interests include robotics, image enhancement and understanding for machine vision applications, fuzzy computations, signal processing and interfacing, expert system for testing pipelines, and intelligent algorithms for medical informatics. He has participated in several government- and industry-funded projects in the United States, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, and Pakistan, and has published over 80 papers in reputable journals and conference proceedings. |
