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

*** Please forward this message to students who may be interested ***


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 at 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 information at http://www.ogi.edu/admissions.
