Dr. Liam M. Mayron is an Assistant Professor in the Harris Institute for Assured Information and the Department of Computer Sciences at the Florida Institute of Technology.

Prior to joining Florida Tech, he worked as a Principal Investigator and Software Engineer at Harris Corp., an international communications company. At Harris, he undertook a variety of research projects in the national intelligence, cyber security, and healthcare informatics domains, with a focus on information and knowledge management. He completed projects in biometrics (results include a pending patent on fingerprint scan registration), steganography, visualizing cyber security data (recognized by the Harris President’s Award), virtual worlds, and data mining geospatial information, among others.

He received his Ph.D. and B.S. degrees in computer engineering from Florida Atlantic University and his M.S. degree in the same field from the University of Florida. His Ph.D. dissertation, “Image Retrieval Using Visual Attention”, developed a hybrid content-based, collaborative filtering query method for searching for images. The content-based features were derived from the application of a computational model of human visual attention, whereas collaborating filtering was achieved through a new, patent pending Web-based interface.

Previously, he founded a company that offered Web-based news content aggregation, query, and dissemination products.

His research interests include content-based image retrieval, cyber security, biologically-inspired computing, multimedia systems, image processing, human and computer vision, and data mining. He has co-authored over twenty scholarly publications and has several patents pending.

Mayron.net

Mayron.net was created on October 19^th, 2001 by me, Liam Mayron, as a place to share my interests and ambitions with the world.

My first site was created when I was 12, at the dawn of the World Wide Web. The original Mayron.net was a modest site with only my biography. Later revisions added photos, interactive features, and news posts.

I can be contacted via e-mail.

Guestmap

I’ve always been interested in geography (my parents have pictures of my falling asleep with an atlas over my head when I was 6 years to prove it). I’m also interested in who is visiting my site. The result of merging these two interests is the Guestmap. The Guestmap only shows the last 100 entries, so check the map periodically and post a new entry if you’ve been pushed off the map.
