Bob Hastings

Hi! You've reached Bob Hastings' home page. Your call is important to us...

About me:

I'm a full-time research student in the school of Computer Science and Software Engineering at the University of Western Australia .
My current research field is concerned with the patterns found in FINGERPRINTS: how one automatically extracts these features from print images and how one might statistically describe their spatial distribution.

My supervisors:


• Peter Kovesi (Chief supervisor)
  
• Du Huynh

In previous lives I have been (roughly in inverse chronological order):

• A computer programmer in the "real world" (snigger)
• A student at Edith Cowan University, completing MSc (Computer Science) in 2003,
• A meteorologist.
