Dr. John W Fisher

Lately Fisher has been working on signal level approaches to multi-modal data fusion, distributed inference under resource constraints, resource management in sensor networks, and analysis of seismic and radar images.

Through a collaboration with Sandy Wells (affiliated with CSAIL and the Surgical Planning Lab at Brigham and Women's Hospital), Fisher is working on nonparametric approaches to functional imaging (particularly fMRI) and image registration. However, he is generally interested in statistical and information theoretic approaches to machine learning, signal processing, and computer vision - or any combination thereof.

Some recent work Fisher has done was with Erik Learned-Miller (former CSAIL Ph.D. student, now a professor at UMass Amherst) is a an ICA algorithm called RADICAL.
