Dr. Mohammed Yeasin was born in Bangladesh and received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering (Computer Vision) from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in May 1998. He is an Assistant Professor in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and also holds adjunct positions with the Institute of Intelligent Systems (IIS) and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Memphis (U of M) since January 2005.Before joining the U of M he was a member of faculty at the State University New York, Institute of Technology. He has also served as a visiting faculty in the Computer Science and Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University (July 2000- July 2003); University of West Florida (August 1999 - June 2000); Director of Computer Vision (July 2000 Ð July 2003) at Advanced Interfaces Inc.; Center of Excellence Research Fellow at Electro-technical Laboratory (August 1998 Ð March 1999) at Tsukuba, Japan; lecturer in the department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Bangladesh Institute of Technology Chittagong (September 1990 Ð July 1998), Bangladesh. He became a Member (M) of IEEE in 2000, a Senior Member (SM) in 2004.
Dr. Yeasin made significant contribution in the research and development of real-time computer vision solutions for academic research and commercial applications. He has been involved with several technological innovations, including face detection, classifying gender, age group, ethnicity, emotions, recognition of human activities in video, recognition of continuous gesture and speech-gesture enabled sophisticated human-computer interfaces. Dr. Yeasin and collaborators have introduced the concept of prosodic synchronization between speech and hand movement in improving deictic gesture recognition. Some of his research on facial image analysis and hand gesture recognition is used in developing several commercial products by the Advanced Interfaces Inc., for example, Automatic Behavior Analysis and speech-gesture based interfaces.
