Dr. Roy L. Streit joined Metron in 2005. His research interests include multi-target tracking, multi-sensor data fusion, distributed autonomous systems, signal processing, medical imaging and statistical methods for pharmacovigilance and business analytics. His recent research involves applications of analytic combinatorics to data association problems in multi-target, multi-sensor tracking and to combinatorial optimization problems in natural language processing and common subgraph matching in high level fusion. Dr. Streit is a Life Fellow of the IEEE and a Senior Fellow at Metron. He is a co-author (with colleagues at Metron) of Bayesian Multiple Target Tracking, Second Edition, Artech House, 2014. He is the author of Poisson Point Processes: Imaging, Tracking, and Sensing, Springer, 2010. Both books have been translated into Chinese. He has published numerous scientific journal papers, book chapters, and invited and contributed papers at international conferences and workshops. He holds seven US patents. He was a NATO Science and Technology Organization Lecturer (SET-157, 2010-2012) on multisensor fusion and also (IST-134, 2015-2016) on advanced algorithms for fusing hard and soft information. He was an Invited Lecturer on radar and sonar tracking, Hanyang University, Ansan, Republic of Korea, 2014. He is currently on the Board of Governors of the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society. He was President of the International Society for Information Fusion (ISIF) in 2012, and continues to serve on the ISIF Board of Directors. He is the founding Editor-in-Chief of the ISIF Perspectives Magazine. He served as General Co-Chair of the ISIF/IEEE Fusion Conference held in Xi'an, China, in 2017, Technical Program Co-Chair for the 2015 ISIF/IEEE Fusion Conference, Washington, DC, and General Co-Chair (with Murat Efe) for the 2013 ISIF/IEEE Fusion Conference, Istanbul, Turkey. He was the Awards Chair for the 2016 ISIF/IEEE Fusion Conference, Heidelberg, Germany.
