Short Bio
Dr. Basri received his B.Sc. in Mathematics and Computer Science from Tel Aviv University in 1986 and his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Weizmann Institute of Science in 1991. He later was a postdoctoral fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Science and the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Since 1992, he has been affiliated with the Weizmann Institute of Science in the Department of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, where he is currently holding the position of Professor. Between 1999 and 2000, he spent a sabbatical year at NEC Research Institute in Princeton, New Jersey. At the Weizmann Institute he served as the Chair of the Board of Studies for the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science between 2004 and 2006 and in 2007 he served as Chair for the Department of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics until leaving for sabbatical at the Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago. Dr. Basri's research has focused on computer vision, especially in the areas of image segmentation, shape reconstruction, and object recognition. In particular, he has developed methods for analyzing the effect of lighting on images, as well as multiscale algorithms for segmentation and edge detection and region-based pose estimation techniques. Dr. Basri's work deals with the development of algorithms, analysis, and implications to human vision. |
