PHD RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIPS  IN  ADAPTIVE SYSTEMS
         AT THE OGI SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING AT OHSU


Individuals interested in pursuing a PhD in Machine Learning or
Computational Neuroscience at OGI are eligible for research assistantships
in the Adaptive Systems Laboratory (http://adsyl.csee.ogi.edu) at the OGI
School of Science & Engineering. The Laboratory does research in the areas
of machine learning, adaptive signal processing and computational
neuroscience. The group currently consists of 6 core faculty, 1 postdoc,
10 PhD students, and several MS students and technicians. The research
interests of the core faculty are as follows:

Miguel A. Carreira-Perpinan: machine learning, computational neuroscience,
applications to speech processing and computer vision.
http://www.csee.ogi.edu/~miguel

Deniz Erdogmus: adaptive, nonlinear, and statistical signal processing,
information theory, applications to biomedical engineering,
communications, and control systems. http://www.csee.ogi.edu/~deniz

Todd Leen: machine learning with applications to fault detection, sensor
fusion, and data assimilation; stochastic learning, computational
neuroscience. http://www.csee.ogi.edu/~tleen

Pat Roberts (NSI): computational neuroscience.

Xubo Song: image processing and analysis, statistical pattern recognition,
machine learning. http://www.csee.ogi.edu/~xubosong

Eric Wan: neural networks, adaptive signal processing and control.

The Adaptive Systems Laboratory is part of the Department of Computer
Science & Electrical Engineering. Close ties also exist with the
Center for Spoken Language Understanding and the Department of
Biomedical Engineering at OGI, and the Neurological Sciences Institute
and the medical school at OHSU.

OGI is one of the four schools of Oregon Health & Science University
(OHSU). OGI is located 12 miles west of Portland, Oregon, in the heart of
the Silicon Forest. Portland's extensive high-tech community, diverse
cultural amenities and spectacular natural surroundings combine to make
the quality of life here extraordinary. To learn more about the
department, OGI, OHSU and Portland, please visit http://www.csee.ogi.edu.

Applicants should have a university degree in an area such as computer
science, electrical engineering, physics or mathematics, and solid
mathematical and programming skills. Background in machine learning,
image/speech processing or computer vision is highly desirable. The
assistantships cover tuition, a competitive stipend, and travel to
research conferences. Students of any nationality may apply.

Informal inquiries can be made by sending email (with supporting CV and a
statement of research interests) to adsyl-inquiry@csee.ogi.edu or to the
appropriate faculty member.  For information on submitting a full
application to the PhD program in Computer Science, see the OGI admissions
