Abhijit Mahalanobis' Full CV (PDF)

Abhijit Mahalanobis is an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Arizona. His primary research areas are video/image processing for target detection and recognition, and computational imaging. He has over 190 journal and conference publications in this area. Mahalanobis also holds six patents, co-authored a book on pattern recognition, contributed several book chapters, and edited special issues of several journals. Abhijit completed his BS degree with honors at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1984. He then joined Carnegie Mellon University and received MS and PhD degrees in 1985 and 1987, respectively. Before joining UArizona, Mahalanobis was an associate professor of the Center for Research in Computer Vision at the University of Central Florida and a senior fellow at Lockheed Martin in Orlando. He has also worked at Raytheon and was a faculty member at the University of Maryland.
