Biography and Education

Dr. Yi Lu Murphey is a Professor in the ECE (Electrical and Computer Engineering) department and the director of the Intelligent Systems Lab at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.  She received a M.S. degree in computer science from Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan, in 1983, and a Ph.D degree with a major in Computer Engineering and a minor in Control Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1989. Her current research interests are in the areas of machine learning, pattern recognition, computer vision and intelligent systems with applications to engineering diagnostics and prognostics, optimal vehicle power management, data analytics, and robotic vision systems.  She has authored over 130 publications in refereed journals and conference proceedings. She is an editor for the Journal of Pattern Recognition.  She has served on technical committees and session chairs for many conferences and organized special sessions for various conferences sponsored by the IEEE Society.  Her research has been funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), US Army TARDEC, State of Michigan, Ford Motor Company, TRW and many others.   A number of the technologies she and her students developed have been deployed in manufacturing or implemented in systems currently in operation.  She is a fellow of IEEE.
