Tel.: 520.621.8732
Email: jrod@ece.arizona.edu
He is an Associate Professor in the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering
at
The University of Arizona.
During 2009-2014, he served as Director of Image Analysis for
Cancer Imaging Shared Services at the Arizona Cancer Center.
During 2003-2008, he served as Co-Director of Connection One, a National Science
Foundation multi-university research center on communication circuits and systems.
Prof. Rodriguez received a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from The University of Texas at
Austin in 1984, a M.S in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology in 1986 and a Ph.D in Electrical Engineering from The University of Texas at
Austin in 1990.
Current research involves signal/image/video processing and analysis applied to
interdisciplinary problems in biology, remote sensing, homeland security, and
consumer electronics. Recent projects include performance evaluation of superpixel
algorithms for image segmentation, video analysis for automated tracking of
zebrafish, performance evaluation of object detection algorithms, registration and
tracking of the right ventricle in cardiac magnetic resonance images, segmentation
of the lamina cribrosa of the optic nerve in microscopy images, detection and
segmentation of cilia in microscopy images of the kidney, image inpainting,
segmentation of X-ray images of multiphase porous media, segmentation and
measurement of lesions in magnetic resonance images, segmentation of rock particles
in images for mining applications, tongue detection and tracking using
ultrasound video, and automobile detection and tracking in aerial video of urban
traffic scenes.
Prof. Rodriguez has been very active in professional activities as a Senior Member of
the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Signal Processing
Society.
He served as General Chair of the 2016 IEEE Southwest Symp. on Image Analysis and
Interpretation (SSIAI). In addition, during 2005-2011 he served on the IEEE Signal
Processing Society Technical Committee on Image, Video, and Multidimensional Signal
Processing.
He served as General Chair of the 2007 IEEE Intl. Conf. on Image Processing (ICIP),
as well as General Chair of SSIAI 2014, General Chair of SSMSD 2003, General Chair of
SSIAI 1998, and Vice Chair of SSIAI 2004, as well as positions on numerous other
professional committees.
From 1996 to 2000, Prof. Rodriguez was Associate Editor of the journal, IEEE
Transactions on Image Processing.
Among the honors and awards he has received are the Andersen Consulting Outstanding
Faculty Award, the IEEE/HKN Outstanding Teaching Award, and a Best Paper award
as co-author at the 2010 SPIE Medical Imaging conference.
