Laura Boucheron

Dr. Laura E. Boucheron is an Associate Professor in Electrical Engineering at New Mexico State University (NMSU). She received her BSEE and MSEE from NMSU and her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of California Santa Barbara. Dr. Bouheron’s research interests are at the intersection of image processing and machine learning, including deep learning. She is particularly interested in interdisciplinary applications where she can use machine learning to facilitate scientific discovery. Her research group is active in solar image analysis for space weather analysis including solar flare prediction and segmentation of coronal holes. Current research interests include incorporation of temporal information in analysis of image sequences, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, fully convolutional neural networks, and interpretability of machine learning solutions.
