At the University of Louisville, He founded the Computer Vision and Image Processing Laboratory (CVIP Lab) which focuses on imaging science, computer vision, biomedical imaging and biometrics. His main research focus is scene analysis, object reconstruction, statistical and variational methods for object modeling, and facial biometrics. He has authored over 350 technical papers, edited two volumes on Deformable Models and is author of the text book Biomedical Image Analysis: Variational and Statistical Approaches – Cambridge University Press, 2014. He has been principal investigator of major projects funded by the NSF, DoD, NIH and industrial organizations. He has graduated over 60 MS and PhD students, mentored 20 postdoctoral researchers. He holds five US patents on object modeling, computer-aided diagnosis, and visualization. He is a regular reviewer for the NSF and NIH, and various technical journals and conferences. He was associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Image Processing (2000—2004) and presently associate editor of IET-CV. He was a guest editor of IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security Special Issue on Facial Biometrics in the Wild (to appear in 2014). He was co-general chair of IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP’2009) and was general chair of Multimedia Technology. He received the University of Louisville top research award in 1999, the Tom Murray Teaching Award in 2008. In 2002 he received university scholar designation, and in 2015 received the Trustees Award. Dr. Farag is Fellow of the IEEE and the IAPR.
