Bio
I am a Professor of Computer Science at RIT, where I direct the Document and Pattern Recognition Lab. I hold a PhD and Master's in Computer Science, a BA with a minor in Computer Science, and a Bachelor of Music degree, all from Queen's University, Canada.
My research interests include information retrieval, document recognition, pattern recognition, and machine learning. Recently I co-authored a book manuscript on mathematical information retrieval for Foundations and Trends in Information Retrieval. We expect the book to be published early in 2025.
I was a Program Co-Chair for ICDAR 2023, and I previously chaired the ICFHR 2018, DRR 2012, and DRR 2013 conferences. I also serve on program committees for information retrieval conferences (e.g., SIGIR, and the new SIGIR-AP conference).

RIT researchers create easy-to-use math-aware search interface
Researchers at RIT have developed MathDeck, an online search interface that allows anyone to easily create, edit and lookup sophisticated math formulas on the computer. Created by an interdisciplinary team of more than a dozen faculty and students, MathDeck aims to make math notation interactive and easily shareable, and it's is free and open to the public.
