Time surely flies! being very busy and forgetting to update this section of the page. Notable items this year:

SDO Content-based Image Retrieval System is released to the public, find it here: http://cbsir.cs.montana.edu/sdocbir/

Journal paper accepted:

J. M. Banda, R. Angryk, P. Martens. “Steps Toward a Large-Scale Solar Image Data Analysis to Differentiate Solar Phenomena”, Solar Physics, Springer, 2012. DOI: 10.1007/s11207-013-0304-x

New conference paper accepted:

WOW, it has been more than one year since my last update, and while I wish I was on a beach relaxing after all the dissertation defense hell…. I have actually been hard at work on my new position as Post-Doctoral Researcher at Montanan State University’s Data Mining Lab (more info here).

Our paper "On the surprisingly accurate transfer of image parameters between medical and solar images" submitted to the IEEE International Conference of Image Processing (ICIP) 2011 has been accepted and will soon be posted here.

I was also named 'outstanding Ph.D. researcher' of 2010-2011 in the Computer Science department at Montana State University (found here)

After months of preparing my dissertation document alongside several conference and journal papers and an extensive job search, it all came down to my defense on April 5th, 2011.

Hectic preparation for dissertation defense and last changes to dissertation manuscript it self... adding to this we have the pressures of job searching and interviewing...... but it will all be posted here! so stay tuned for updates!

Finally got around editing my winter vacation pictures and are finally posted. Also added a few more works under review in the publications section.

A copy of the prospectus of my dissertation entitled "Framework for Creating Large-Scale Content-Based Image Retrieval System (CBIR) for Solar Data Analysis" has been uploaded to the site, you can find it HERE.

Few minor changes in the publications section. Will also be uploading tons of code and other goodies related to my prospectus and dissertation work that need to be published

Added a few more publications, added the photography section, and will be adding the CBIR Building framework section once my prospectus is approved. Will be traveling to the NASA Conference on Intelligent Data Understanding (CIDU 2010), and will be presenting our paper: Usage of Dissimilarity Measures and Multidimensional Scaling for Large Scale Solar Data Analysis.

Publications have been updated, and there will be plenty of changes done in the next few weeks, so stay put!
