Experience
 
  Jeffery Price
 
Dr. Jeffery R. Price received the B.S.E.E. degree from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1993, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1997 and 1999, respectively. While at Georgia Tech, he was the recipient of the Kodak Fellowship. He has worked with the Imaging Science Division at Kodak Research Laboratories and with the Imaging, Robotics, and Intelligent Systems Laboratory at the University of Tennessee. Dr. Price has been a part of the Image Science and Machine Vision Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory since 2000. Some of his recent interests have included applied image processing and pattern recognition research in the fields of industrial inspection and defect detection, biomedical imaging, and face recognition. He is a member of IEEE and SPIE.
