Kevin Bowyer

Kevin Bowyer’s research interests touch on many aspects of computer vision and pattern recognition, including biometrics, data mining, object recognition, and medical image analysis. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), a Fellow of the IAPR, a Golden Core member of the IEEE Computer Society, and a recipient of an IEEE Technical Achievement Award. He previously served as the EIC of the IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, and the IEEE Biometrics Compendium, and as General Chair or Program Chair of a number of major conferences. He is the General Chair of the 2017 IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and a Chair of the 2017 CVPR Media Forensics Workshop. One specific area of focus is face recognition, a technology that has encountered controversy in recent years because of claims of bias, but that is an area Bowyer is working to improve.
