Hi. My name is Damian Eads. I am a fifth year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Cruz. In January 2009, I successfully defended the proposal for my dissertation research and advanced to doctoral candidacy. As a Graduate Student Researcher (GSR) at UCSC, I conduct research in machine learning, specifically object detection and time series classification under the direction of Dr. David Helmbold at UC Santa Cruz (USA), Dr. Edward Rosten at University of Cambridge (UK), and Dr. James Theiler at Los Alamos National Laboratory (USA). I also collaborate with Dr. Joshua Bloom at UC Berkeley on the application of machine learning to astrophysics problems. As a Staff Research Assistant at Los Alamos National Laboratory, I work for the Intelligent Searching of Images and Signals team, part of the International, Space and Response division, formerly Nonproliferation and International Security Division. When at Los Alamos, I apply the algorithms I have developed to geospatial and remote sensing problems such as land cover classification in multispectral imagery, finding vehicles and pedestrians in aerial imagery, or identification of lightning from RF-antennae in space. Los Alamos is kind of like a magnet; I've worked there since 2001, and I keep on coming back. |
From late June of 2009 to late August 2009, I will be conducting my research on the LANL campus. My e-mail there is eads@lanl.gov, and my office phone number, 505-667-3659. On August 14, 2009, I will attend the Bay Area Vision Meeting at Stanford University. From August 17-23, I will be in Pasadena, CA at Caltech attending SciPy 2009. In September 2009, I will be working at Cambridge University in Cambridge, UK.
The primary purpose of this site is professional so there is not much that's personal here. The best way to get to know me is in person.
Check out a small slice of my interesting ancestral history.
