Dr. Paul Fieguth is the Associate Vice President—Academic Operations, a Professor in the Department of Systems Design Engineering, and a co-director of the Vision and Imaging Processing Lab, all University of Waterloo. His undergraduate studies were in Electrical Engineering at the University of Waterloo, and his graduate studies were in Electrical Engineering at MIT. His main areas of research lie in multiscale statistical modelling and machine learning, in particular the theory and understanding of hierarchical/scale recursive estimation algorithms for multi-resolution stochastic processes in order to lead to computational efficiency. His pedagogic passion focuses on complex systems, nonlinear dynamic systems, and the everyday manifestations and consequences of such systems.
