Kurt Kramer, PhD
Kurt received his Ph.D. in 2010 in computer science from the University of South Florida, with an emphasis in Image Processing and Machine Learning. Prior to his academic career, Kurt worked professionally as a programmer, designer and software engineer. As a product of his career and academic research experiences, he is comfortable in the research and development of new technologies as well as their implementation for practical use in industry. His latest technological advance has combined those skills to produce a real-time, trainable, flow-through plankton recognition and quantification system, the OceanSpace Aquatic Imager. The Aquatic Imager provides a relatively rapid and low-cost method for understanding and managing entrainment of aquatic organisms in industrial cooling waters.
