Biography
Professor Gregor’s research is focused on machine learning and image reconstruction. His work has been published in more than 100 journal articles, conference papers, and book chapters. The machine learning publications deal with approximate string matching, grammatical inference, and other aspects of syntactic pattern recognition, as well as applications ranging from automated chromosome analysis to network security. He has developed and implemented statistical and algebraic imaging algorithms for medical applications, waste management, and non-destructive testing and evaluation applications for several different data modalities including x-ray CT, SPECT, PET and neutron CT.
