Hi ECE Students — I welcome all of you to participate in one or more of my research projects.  In order to contribute you should be motivated to learn and explore.  Some of my projects have funding for student research salaries — job openings will be posted and announced.

My projects include:

• Convolutional neural networks (deep learning)
  • Character-based tweet classification
  • Computer vision for robotic applications
  • Image colorspace analysis
  • Retrieval of “similar” images from among a collection
• Video compression
  • New and improved algorithms for video compression
  • Interaction between image/video compression and computer vision
• Digital chip design/computer engineering
  • Use of High Level Synthesis for modeling, implementation and verification of circuits for compressed video

I am also willing to supervise research in other areas where I have expertise, including embedded systems, digital signal processing, digital music, adaptive filtering, active noise cancellation, probability and statistics and digital communication.

If you have interest please contact me at pearlstl@tcnj.edu.  I look forward to your joining our team!
