Department welcomes new lecturer
The Department of
Electronic and Electrical Engineering is pleased to welcome Dr Nathan Smith as lecturer.
Dr Smith studied at the University of Cambridge and has since worked at the University of Kent. He joined the University of Bath as a member of the Bath Institute for Complex Systems in the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
His interests include data assimilation, ionospheric imaging, medical imaging and speech and image classification. He is particularly interested in how algorithms learn from data.
Other interests include information theory and Markov chains, aspects of complex systems and emergence, and pattern recognition such as speech/image classification. He has worked on ionospheric applications, and in medical imaging with SPECT and X-ray CT.
He hopes to continue his work in global navigation satellite systems and expand into other aspects of geophysical Earth Observation, and to follow opportunities that arise in inverse problems, tomography and data assimilation.
He said: "I am looking forward to working with other members of the department, most immediately members of the CSAOS and the Invert research groups, but also more widely with academics and students in the department, both through teaching and research."
