Dr. Jan Flusser received the M.Sc. Degree in mathematical engineering from the Czech Technical University, Prague, Czech Republic in 1985 and the Ph.D. degree in computer science from the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in 1990. Since 1985 he has been with the Institute of Information Theory and Automation, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague. Since 1995 he has been holding the position of a head of Department of Image Processing. Since 1991 he has been also affiliated with the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, Prague and with the Czech Technical University, Prague (full professorship in 2004), where he gives undergraduate and graduate courses on Digital Image Processing and Pattern Recognition. Jointly with B. Zitova he gives specialized graduate course on moment invariants and wavelets.
Jan Flusser has a 20-years experience in basic and applied research on the field of invariant-based pattern recognition. He has been involved in applications in remote sensing, medicine, and astronomy.
He has authored and coauthored more than 100 research publications in these areas. Some of his journal papers became classical and are frequently cited. Jan Flusser is a Senior Member of the IEEE.
