Solving Mysteries in the Humanities: STEM is the Key for Barney

摘要

Electrical engineering is often viewed as a solitary endeavor with lots of equations and/or code. In reality, it is a toolbox, and these tools can be used to advance technology, help humanity, and solve mysteries in the humanities. Dr. Elisa Barney, an electrical and computer engineering professor at Boise State University, Idaho, who specializes in digital image processing and pattern recognition, uses her toolbox to work on problems in material analysis, biomedical image processing, remote sensing, astronomical image processing, and document analysis.
