OverviewAI-generated summary
Alexander Nelson's research focuses on the development and application of advanced sensing technologies, machine learning, and computational methods. He has received significant funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), including a $500,000 CAREER award for enhancing ambient capacitive sensing through improved resolution and multi-modal sensor fusion, and a $100,000 CCRI grant for infrastructure to perform side-channel attacks on cryptographic algorithms.
His recent publications demonstrate a diverse range of interests. These include work on low-power personalized gesture recognition using wearable textile capacitive sensor arrays, deep learning for breast cancer tissue classification from terahertz imaging, and self-supervised spatiotemporal transformers for group activity recognition. Nelson also investigates the replication of smart-city Internet of Things assets and the hardware implementation of cryptographic algorithms.
Nelson has published 43 papers, accumulating over 500 citations and an h-index of 13. He collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including David Andrews, Han-Seok Seo, and Pha Nguyen, as well as Page D. Dobbs at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom he shares multiple publications. He maintains an active lab website.
