Dr. Michael I. Miller - Chairman of the Board, Chief Scientist and Founder Dr. Miller founded Animetrics in 2002 applying his imaging technology inventions to facial biometrics. A recognized leader and pioneer in areas of image understanding, pattern theory, computer vision, and medical imaging, and has pioneered the field of Computational Anatomy. In 2002 Dr. Miller was recognized by ISI Essential Science Indicators for Citations in the Field of Engineering. In 2001 he was named International Man of the Year for contributions to Science by Cambridge Biographical. In 1986 Dr. Miller was one of one hundred young scientists selected by the National Science Foundation as a National Presidential Awardee for their future promise to the advancement of American Science. Dr. Miller has authored over one hundred peer-reviewed publications in medical imaging, image understanding, and Computational Anatomy. He is currently the Seder Professor of Biomedical Engineering and the Director of Imaging Science at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Miller is a member of FISWG, the Facial Identification Scientific Working Group, www.fiswg.org, an organization of experts from law enforcement, FBI, DOD, DHS and international setting the standards for face recognition and face identification. As Animetrics Chief Scientist Dr. Miller leads the technology strategy and R&D. |
