Biography

Short version:

George Nagy

Professor, Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY 12180

tel: 518 276-6078; fax: 515 276-6261;

George Nagy received the B.Eng. and M.Eng. degrees from McGill University, and the PhD in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University in 1962 (on neural networks). For the next ten years he conducted research on various aspects of pattern recognition at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights. From 1972 to 1985 he was Professor of Computer Science at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln (nine years as chair), and worked on geographic information systems, remote sensing applications, computational geometry, and human-computer computer interfaces. Since 1985 he has been Professor of Computer Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He has held visiting appointments at the Stanford Research Institute, Cornell, the University of Montreal, the National Scientific Research Institute of Quebec, the University of Genoa and the Italian National Research Council in Naples and Genoa, AT&T and Lucent Bell Laboratories, IBM Almaden, McGill University, Institute for Information Science Research at the University of Nevada, University of Bern, Center for Image Analysis in Uppsala, Center for Scientific and Technological Center, Trento, University of Salerno, Palo Alto Research Center, and the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Science. In addition to recognition systems that improve with use, his interests include OCR, document image analysis, web-based ontologies, interactive visual recognition, geographic information systems and computational geometry, solid modeling, finite-precision spatial computation, and computer vision. He is director of the ECSE DocLab and co-director with Prof. W.R. Franklin of the Computational Geometry Laboratory.
