Self-introduction

[David Izraelevitz]

Hello to Friamers:

My name is David Izraelevitz and I met some of you last Friday morning at
St. John's, at the invitation of Frank Wimberly, who I know from some joint
consulting work. Per the mail-list instructions, I am sending this brief
self-introduction in the hope and expectation that there are common
interests out there.

I am currently employed by SRI International, in Menlo Park, but I have a
home office in Los Alamos. I am currently involved in a large program run
by one of the Army Labs (ERDC/TEC to be specific) developing new techniques
to assist military commanders understand the terrain in which they have to
operate. I have worked on algorithms for visibility analysis, such as
determining advantageous overwatch locations, keyhole positions (bad guy
can see me, but I can't see him), helicopter skylining, terrain
concealment, etc. Many of these have architectural and environmental
applications as well. My other main interest the last few years is in graph
algorithms related to routing problems. I originally moved to Northern New
Mexico to join a startup, which unfortunately did not get to see Y2K, but
stayed since we love it here. In my previous life, I did a lot of work in
image/signal processing and pattern recognition.

If there are transplanted Bostonians there, I went to graduate school in
Cambridge and stayed on for the next 10 years, so I do miss the water, but
not the traffic.

Hope to meet more of you at another Friday breakfast.

David.

Hi David,

How are you?  How's Mike Stein-have you talked with him?

Cheers!
