Geoff Dougherty is a Fulbright US Senior Scholar at Diponegoro University (UNDIP), with visits to Airlangga University (UNAIR) and Sepuluh November Institute of Technology (ITS) in Surabaya. Through these engagements, he assessed and developed image processing curricula and educational materials, delivered seminars and workshops on image processing and pattern recognition, and conducted training on writing for international journals, books, and other scholarly publications.
Most recently, he has been a senior scholar teaching at UNDIP, with visits to UNAIR and ITS. He conducted workshops on image processing and scientific writing and taught several ongoing courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels at UNDIP. He evaluated the physics program and assisted with editorial and managerial developments at the Journal of Physics and its Applications (JPA). He gave workshops on medical imaging and academic writing in Surabaya.
He joined California State University Channel Islands as a physics and medical imaging professor in 2002. He has been an advocate for applied science and technology. He actively pursues research in medical imaging and image analysis, including the assessment of texture in clinical images of trabecular bone, the quantitation of tortuosity in blood vessels, and the optimization of dose and image quality in computed tomography (CT). He developed a new major in applied physics and a program in medical imaging. The hallmark of these is an applied, interdisciplinary approach that incorporates the latest advances in science, technology, and the medical sciences and addresses local employment needs. He is a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the founding chair of the engineering in medicine and biology chapter of the Ventura County section of the IEEE. He has published numerous articles in international journals, books, and book chapters and has won various competitive research grants.
He previously served as a Fulbright Specialist at Bandung Institute of Technology in 2015 and at UNDIP and UNAIR in 2018.
