Biography
Nader Namazi was with the Michigan Technological University, Houghton, from 1985 to 1992, where he was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor with continuous tenure. Since 1992, he has been with the Catholic University of America, Washington D.C., where he served as the Chairman of EECS from 2005 - 2008. He is currently professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He was the Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Modeling and Simulation from 1994 to 1996. He is the author of the book New Algorithms for Variable Time Delay and Nonuniform Image Motion Estimation (Ablex 1994). His research interests are in image motion detection and estimation, image sequence filtering/restoration, digital communications, chemical agent detection and classification. Dr. Namazi is a senior member of IEEE and member of Eta Kappa Nu. He is also recipient of the Alpha Delta Gamma Teaching Award.
