Dr. David Bright received his Ph.D in Biophysics from Colorado State University in 1975. Dr. Bright has worked as a research chemist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology since 1976 and has a keen interest in computer assisted analysis since that time. In 1984, he joined the Microanalysis Group of the Center for Analytical Chemistry to develop an image analysis system, MacLispix, and apply image analysis techniques to various research problems of the group. Researchers use MacLispix to automate electron microscopes, identify arrays in electron diffraction patterns, enhance and correlate x-ray maps, find and measure areas of interest in images, archive images and exchange images and data with other image processing programs. Dr. Bright uses MacLispix to develop algorithms and work on various image-processing problems. He has authored over sixty papers on image analysis since 1983, including an Interface article in Analytical Chemistry '91, and has given over fifty invited talks on the subject.
