About Me

At Widener, I have taught a variety of undergraduate and graduate lecture and laboratory courses offered on campus or online. I enjoy interacting with students inside and outside of the classroom, encourage them to ask questions, have group discussions, explore different solutions, and be creative.

I have been advising undergraduate and graduate students in different research projects, and directing the Undergraduate Student Research Program at the School of Engineering. By conducting research with faculty advisors, students may have opportunities to apply the learned knowledge to practical applications, and gain additional experiences and skills that might not be sufficiently covered by the regular courses.

Research Interests

Dr. Song’s research interests include pattern recognition and machine learning from fundamental modeling issues to multidisciplinary applications in robotic vision, artificial intelligence, brain-machine interface, biomedical imaging, multi-sensor fusion, and signal/image processing.
