Gerald Schaefer gained his BSc. in Computing from the University of Derby and his PhD in Computer Vision from the University of East
Anglia. He worked at the Colour & Imaging Institute, University of
Derby (1997-1999), in the School of Information Systems, University of
East Anglia (2000-2001), in the School of Computing and Informatics at
Nottingham Trent University (2001-2006), and in the School of
Engineering and Applied Science at Aston University (2006-2009) before joining the
Department of Computer Science at Loughborough University where he leads the Vision, Imaging and Autonomous Systems Research Division.
His research interests are mainly in the areas of colour image analysis, image retrieval, physics-based vision, medical imaging, and
computational intelligence. He has published extensively in these areas with a total publication count exceeding 250. He is a member of the
editorial board of more than 10 international journals, reviews for over 70 journals and served on the programme committee of more than 200
conferences. He has been invited as keynote or tutorial speaker to more than 30 conferences, is the organiser of various international workshops and
special sessions at conferences, and the editor of several books, conference proceedings and special journal issues.
