OverviewAI-generated summary
Alexander Nelson's research focuses on the application of advanced computational techniques, particularly deep learning and artificial intelligence, to address challenges in diverse fields. His work in medical imaging investigates the use of deep learning for classifying breast cancer tissue from terahertz imaging, employing methods like wavelet synchro-squeezed transformation and transfer learning. In the realm of computer vision and activity recognition, Nelson's research includes developing transformer-based approaches for self-supervised spatiotemporal activity recognition, such as SPARTAN and Sogar.
Nelson also contributes to the field of cybersecurity, with a focus on post-quantum cryptography. His publications examine power-based side-channel attack analysis on post-quantum cryptography algorithms and investigate end-to-end key recovery attacks using Rowhammer vulnerabilities. Furthermore, his work extends to the development of assistive technologies, including an FPGA-based upper-limb rehabilitation device that utilizes multi-task recurrent neural networks for gesture recognition and motion evaluation.
His scholarly contributions are reflected in a h-index of 13, with 42 publications and 464 citations. Nelson has secured federal funding, including a $500,000 NSF CAREER award for enhancing ambient capacitive sensing through improved resolution and multi-modal sensor fusion, and a $100,000 NSF CCRI award as Co-PI for infrastructure to perform side-channel attacks on cryptographic algorithms. He actively collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including David Andrews, Han‐Seok Seo, Pha Nguyen, and Page D. Dobbs.
