Prof. Hedeman and team win NSF grants
After working as a NCSA Faculty Fellow with Peter Bajcsy (NCSA) in 2008-2009, Professor Anne D. Hedeman and Bajscy won two NSF grants to continue their work. They were co-PIs for the first grant, awarded in May 2009 ($24,000) to support an interdisciplinary international workshop that brought together computer scientists and humanists to examine the spectrum of problems requiring imaging and images analyses and to examine existing technologies and solutions that are currently available.
The second NSF grant ($128,000) was awarded in August 2009 to a team (Bajcsy, PI; Hedeman co-PI; Kevin Franklin [I-Chass] co-PI; and Karen Fresco [French]) that will work to develop cyber tools to enhance analysis of a group of eight fully digitalized fifteenth-century manuscript copies of Jean Froissart's chronicles in order to understand aspects of the production and consumption of these books and their place in late medieval culture.
