Dr. Boult, El Pomar Endowed Chair of Innovation and Security and Professor of Computer Science at the 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 (associated processor 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.
