James M. Keller received the Ph.D. in Mathematics in 1978. He has had faculty appointments in the Bioengineering/Advanced Automation Program, the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, and the Computer Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Missouri-Columbia, where he currently holds the rank of Professor. He is also the R. L. Tatum Research Professor in the College of Engineering. His research interests include computer vision, pattern recognition, fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic, fractal geometry, and neural networks. He has been funded by several industrial and government institutions, including the Electronics and Space Corporation, Union Electric, NASA/JSC, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the Army Research Office, and the Office of Naval Research. Dr. Keller has coauthored over 150 technical publications.
Recent research projects include: Fuzzy Logic in Automatic Target Recognition, Automated White Blood Cell Counting, Spatial Relationship Definition and Use in Computer Vision, E. coli Bacteria Recognition, Automated Chromosome Karyotyping, and Landmine Detection.
Professor Keller is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for whom he has presented live and video tutorials on fuzzy logic in computer vision, is a national lecturer for the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and is a past President of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society (NAFIPS). He is the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, is an Associate Editor of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, and is on the editorial board of Pattern Analysis and Applications, Fuzzy Sets and Systems, and the Journal of Intelligent and Fuzzy Systems. He was the conference chair of the 1991 NAFIPS Workshop, program co-chair of the 1996 NAFIPS meeting, program co-chair of the 1997 IEEE International Conference on Neural Networks, and the program chair of the 1998 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems.
