| Abstract | This paper is a trip report for the 2008 IREE trip taken by The University of Memphis. For three months, Dr. Iftekharuddin and two of his students, Elizabeth Threlkeld and William White, studied at The University of Wollongong in Wollongong, NSW, Australia. They continued their work on pose invariant facial recognition and were able to learn new techniques to apply to their existing work. This report discusses specific accomplishments by the faculty member, students, interactions with the host lab, as well as broader impacts of this international collaboration. |

| Bio | Dr. Khan M. Iftekharuddin is an associate professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Memphis (U of M). He also holds a joint appointment with the joint graduate program in biomedical engineering at the U of M and University of Tennessee at Memphis. He further serves on the faculty of bioinformatics program at U of M. He was an assistant professor of computer science and electrical and computer engineering at North Dakota State University (NDSU) before joining to the U of M in the fall of 2000. He obtained an early promotion and tenure at the U of M in the fall of 2003. He is named the Researcher of the Year in college of Engineering and Architecture for 2000 at NDSU. Much of his research had focused on different aspects of computer vision and signal/image processing problems. He is the principal author of more than eighty refereed journal papers and conference proceedings; and multiple book chapters. He is a fellow of SPIE, a senior member of IEEE and a member of IEEE CIS and OSA.
Elizabeth L. Threlkeld received a BSE in Computer Engineering from Tulane University in 2006. At Tulane Elizabeth was IEEE Student Chapter President for the 2005-2006 school year, and was recognized as the chapter's student member of the year for the same time period. She was also awarded the Texas Instruments Award for the Outstanding Senior in the Computing Sciences. In 2005, during the semester Tulane was closed following hurricane Katrina, she worked in the Navy Primary Standards Lab at North Island Naval Air station in San Diego, CA. Currently Elizabeth is a graduate student at the University of Memphis working on a MS in Computer Engineering, where she works under Dr. Iftekharuddin in both the Intelligent Systems Image Processing Lab and the Embedded Systems Lab. William E. White III received his high school diploma from White Station High School in Memphis, TN in 2004. He is currently working on dual degrees in electrical engineering and computer engineering, as well as a second major in physics, at The University of Memphis. He is on track to graduate in Spring 2009 with departmental and university honors. William is currently the treasurer of his fraternity (Phi Gamma Delta) and is a member of many honors organizations including Phi Kappa Phi, Omicron Delta Kappa, Who�s Who in American Colleges and Universities. |
