I have an office in EAS, one at the Vast lab, and one at my company, Securics Inc , over at University Office Park. Also through my role in EPIIC, I have lots of meetings off campus. Finding me by dropping in is a low probably event. Try to arrange a meeting by email.
Note that I run a pretty aggressive spam filter, if you don't get a response to email with 48hours, try again and add the word "innovation" to your subject line.

Teaching The Innovation Process (INOV101) , this is a freshman course covering the innovation process, tools for creativity, personality types and change, team structure and interactions, and stages of innovation. Its a very team-oriented course, with pracice of the techniques covered.
In Spring 2009, I co-taught with Rory Lewis the first offering of INOV210, "Technical Writing, Proposals and Presentations", where students advcance their technical writing skills, learn abotu team writing, work on real propsals, with the class submitting 3 propsals for totaling nearly half a million in funding. The students also learn more about, and practice, presentation skills.
In Spring 2009 I co-taught INOV202 and INOV302 with Greg Stock. This is our Innovation Teams course, where teams partner with local companies.
In Fall 2008 I co-taught INOV201 and INOV301 with Greg Stock. This is our Innovation Teams course, where teams partner with local companies, including supporting an SBIR propposal with Tier1Performance, which was funded (and worked on in Spring 2009).
Fall 2008 I co-taught the second offering of Intro. to Entrepreneurships (ENTP100) This is a freshman course on entreprenurship, with a slant toward technology-based entreprenrurship. With 80 students is signifcantly exceeded our expected second offering for the BI.
Fall 2008 I co-taught a graduate course on Biometrics.
Fall 2008 I co-taught a ITeckKnow Freshman Seminar with Nina Polok.
In Spring 2008 I co-taught the first offering of The Innovation Process (INOV101), this is a freshman course covering the innovation process, tools for creativity, personality types and change, team structure and interactions, and stages of innovation. Its a very team-oriented course, with pracice of the techniques covered.
Spring 2008 I taught a course on Advanced Security Systems.
In Fall 2007 I co-taughtp Intro. to Entrepreneurships (ENTP100) The first new course in the Bachelor of Innovation family of degrees. This is a freshman course on entreprenurship, with a slant toward technology-based entreprenrurship. With 45 students is signifcantly exceeded our expected first offering for the BI.
In Fall 2007 I co-taughtp ITechKnow with Morgan Sheppard of College of Business and Rick Redella, a local entrepreneur. This is a freshman seminar that is a survey of Engineering Technology and its impact on society.
In Spring 2007 I again taught Software Engineering (CS330) which is an intensive hands-on experience for the students. We've lined up multiple local companies who will be the "clients" for the requirement/specification/design aspects of the class.
In Fall 2006 I taught Computational Image Processing (CS505) This is a graduate course on image processing, with an emphasis on computational rather than theoretical aspects. Programming in both C++ and Matlab is required.
In Fall 2006 I co-taughtp ITechKnow with Dean J. Haefner. This is a freshman seminar that is a survey of Engineering Technology and its impact on society.
In Spring 2006 I taught Software Engineering (CS330) which was an intensive hands-on experience for the students. We've lined up multiple local companies who will be the "clients" for the requirement/specification/design aspects of the class.
In Spring 2005 I taught cs601 Technology Transfer, Intellectual Property and Patents for Engineering And since it finished we have had 3 patents filed from the class, and two of the student were instrumental in defending their company from a patent infringement suit!.
In Fall 2004 I taught CS692 Advanced topics in Security and
In Spring 2004 I taught teaching CS 584 Computer Vision at UCCS.
For the current lab project check out Vision and Security Lab (VAST) lab page.
I have also started up a company, Securics addressing security, biometrics and privacy.

Dr. Boult, University of Colorado at Colorado Spring where his role includes working with faculty and local companies to develop and transfer technology in the Springs area. Since joining UCCS in 2003 Dr. Boult' partner companies have been awarded over 7Million in SBIR/STTR funding. Before joining UCCS he was the Weiseman Chair Professor and the New Century Fund Professor of Computer Science in the Computer Science and Engineering Department at Lehigh University, where he was the founding chairman of the CSE department. Dr. Boult was on the faculty of Columbia University from 1986 (Associate Prof. 1992-1994) before joing Lehigh in 1994. He studied at Columbia University, earning his MS and PhD degrees in computer science in 1984 and 1986 respectively.
Dr. Boult has been the organizer of dozens related conferences/workshops for IEEE, including both biometrics and embedded systems, as well as invited speaker on biometrics for ASIS and at the NIST Biometric Quality Workshop. He is the chair of the IEEE Technical Committee on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, and a founding memeber of the IEEE Biometric Council.
Dr. Boult has published over 150 papers and holds 7 patents, with 9 patents pending. He publishes in Computer Vision/Robotics as well as in Networking and Mobile Computing. He has been the co-organizer of multiple workshops of visual surveillance, performance evaluation of tracking systems, and computer vision related topics, and has been on program committees for more than a two dozen IEEE and SPIE conferences and workshops on computer vision and sensor fusion.
Dr. Boult's ongoing research projects include advanced biometrics , advanced visual security systems, design and evaluation of imaging sensors, FPGA-acceleration algorithms for Vision, Embedded systems, algorithms for efficient use of wireless networks, Network performance, network security, steganslysis, medical imaging, and Web-based support systems for Trauma patients.
Recent Entrepreneurial Activities Dr Boult is the Co-founder, CEO/CTO of Securics Inc (www.securics.com ), which is addressing security and biometrics technology. Since its founding in 2004, Securics has been actively commercializing technology developed by Dr. Boult at UCCS and has won 5 Phase I and 3 Phase 2 SBIR/STTRs as well as multiple commercial contracts. With exclusive licenses to 6 pending patents Securics has unqiue technologies that simultaneously improve security and privacy. Securics was selected by the US Military to develop a long-range facial recognition system using Securics unique technology.
From 2002-2004, Dr. Boult was the founding the Chief Technology officer for GuardianSolutions Inc, where he helped to develop the leading video-based intelligent security systems sold to some of the largest ports in the country, the financial institutions, large pharmaceutical companies, as well developing unique portable systems for the the Military and boarder patrol. GuardianSolutions, (dba Jtech) was acquired by Telephonics, a subsidiary of Griffon Corporation (NYSE: GFF).
From 1998 to present Dr. Boult has been working with Cyclovison (now doing business as Remote Reality ), where he continues to pursue joint contracts and help in automated analysis of their unique 360 imaging technology. Remote Reality is a venture backed company which is the leading designer and manufacturer of next-generation intelligent omni video systems (IOVS). Major customers include the US Departmet of Defensen and Lockheed Martin.

I'm also play a bit of Table Tennis. I picked it up again in 2004 since El Pomar, who funded my Chair, also sponsors the Colorado State games. In the 2004 Rocky Mountain State Games and 2005 State Games of Americia my partner Xiaobo(Joe) Zhou and I won the gold in the mens recreational doubles . And in 2005 Joe won the Gold in the mens recreational singles (so you can tell where the real skill was :-) In 2006 I improved a good bit (winning a silver on my own and doubles bronze with Tao as a partner. The improve was thanks to a table in the basement and a robot so I can practice (right). In 2007 I again won double gold with Joe. In 2008 I took double gold with Joe, but more significantly I took single gold in the over 40 receational division and bronze in the singles reational open.
