Electronics Engineer

U.S. Army Research Laboratory

Dr. Riggan received the B.S. degree in computer engineering from N.C. State University in 2009, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from N.C. State University in 2011 and 2014, respectively. After finishing his Ph.D., he was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory’s Image Processing Branch, where he worked on face recognition. Currently, he works for the Networked Sensing and Fusion Branch of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. Dr. Riggan research interests are in areas of biometrics and fusion, which leverage his expertise in image/signal processing, computer vision, and machine learning. He has published many papers, and a book, spanning the subjects of handwriting recognition, face recognition, and fusion. His current research involves cross-spectrum face recognition and spatial-temporal data fusion for target detection/recognition.
