I am a Foundation Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) and served as the Chair of the CSE Department from 2013 to 2018. I am also founder/director of the UNR Computer Vision Laboratory (CVL) and a Senior Personnel of the NSF AI Institute for Foundations of Machine Learning (IFML). My research interests include Computer Vision, Medical Imaging, and Machine/Deep Learning. My research has been funded both by government and industry agencies including NSF, NIFA, ONR, NASA, NIJ, NDoT, Ford Motor Company, and Honda. According to Google Scholar, I have an h-index of 58 and 15554 citations (as of 10/11/2025. I have served as a panelist for the National Science Foundation (NSF), Department of Defense and NASA. I am also Associate Editor of the Machine Vision and Applications Journal and founder of the International Symposium on Visual Computing (ISVC) and the International Symposium of Mathematical and Computational Oncology (ISMCO).
Sushil Louis
Dr. Louis works in Genetic Algorithms, Evolutionary Computing and their applications to Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Optimization. His current work investigates adaptive AI for RTS-games, interaction design for controlling large numbers of heterogeneous, semi-autonomous entities, and generating real-time micro for game and real-world agents. The Evolutionary Computing Systems Lab (ECSL), which I direct, has investigated new techniques for machine learning using Case-Injected Genetic AlgoRithms (CIGAR), new techniques for playing to learn to play computer games, and new techniques for evolving Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game micro and macro.
