Rate My Professor Lori Mann Bruce

Bruce earned her B.S.E. and Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 1991 and 1996, a M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1992, and a certificate in Biomedical Engineering from the Georgia Tech/Emory joint program. Her research focuses on hyperspectral image analysis, signal processing, remote sensing, automated target recognition, wavelet transforms, data fusion, and unmanned aerial systems for precision agriculture. She has led federally and industry-funded research projects totaling over $20 million and authored over 150 peer-reviewed publications cited more than 6,000 times. Notable publications include "An Adaptive Support Vector Machine Classifier for Hyperspectral Image Analysis" (IEEE TGRS, 2014), "Locality Preserving Genetic Algorithms for Spatial-Spectral Hyperspectral Image Classification" (IEEE JSTARS, 2013), "Information Fusion in a Redundant-Wavelet-Transform Domain for Noise-Robust Hyperspectral Classification" (IEEE TGRS, 2012), "Decision Level Fusion of Spectral Reflectance and Derivative Information for Hyperspectral Classification and Target Recognition" (IEEE TGRS, 2010), and "Wavelet-Based Feature Extraction for Improved Endmember Abundance Estimation in Linear Unmixing of Hyperspectral Signals" (IEEE TGRS, 2004). She presented an online seminar on hyperspectral remote sensing reaching over 4,700 students worldwide. Honors include IEEE Distinguished Lecturer (2016-present), William L. Giles Distinguished Professor (2012-present), Bagley College of Engineering Researcher of the Year (2007), and NSF Graduate Research Fellowships (1992-1995).
