About Professor Bouman



Professor Bouman is the Michael and Katherine Birck Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering as well as a Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University.

He is well known for his dynamic teaching style and his irreverent discourse. [PLEASE EDIT]

Prof. Bouman is also behind the development of GE's recent low-dose DT scan technology [1] [2] which has recently been approved by FDA. [PLEASE EDIT]

[PLEASE EDIT] Perhaps a proof of the high quality of his research is the extent of which is work has been plagiarized. For example his paper titled: "Text Segmentation for MRC Document Compression " (written in collaboration with his graduate student Eri Haneda), which appeared in IEEE Transactions on Image Processing in 2011, was plagiarized twice, by two different sets of authors:

  1. Sreekesh Namboodiri and Kharmega Sundararaj, “MULTISCALE SEGMENTATION FOR MRC,DOCUMENT COMPRESSION USING COST FUNCTION”, International Journal of Computer Networks and Wireless Communications, Vol. 2, No. 2, April 2012 (ISSN: ISSN: 2250-3501)
  2. G.VISWANATH and T.SARATH BABU, “A NOVEL APPROACH FOR MRC DOCUMENT COMPRESSION”, Int. J. of Advanced Scientific Research Technology, Issue 2, Vol. 2, April 2012 (ISSN: 2249-9954)

  • "If someone asked me if I wanted a Walmart next door, I would say "no". But if they built it anyway, then I would at least want to be allowed to shop there." (Talking about a proposed new building.)
  • Bending down to pick up something during a talk: "Let me just throw up... (last words impossible to hear)" Of course, he meant to say "throw up this slide" .
  • "So basically, this is for someone living in the 1960's", during a PhD defense after a candidate listed numerous simplifying assumptions such as that the image must be black and white.
  • "I do research with a capital R"-when an undergraduate student asked if she could work for him.
  • "I would like to know what the units are-is it apples,or oranges or light years"-when someone went and asked for more points on a midterm problem where they had forgotten the units for time.
