Scientific Work
Herman earned his Ph.D. from the University of London in Mathematics in 1968. He was the leader of successful image processing groups at University at Buffalo and at the University of Pennsylvania. He was Hewlett Packard Visiting Research Professor at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute at the University of California-Berkeley and is since 2002 at the CUNY Graduate Center. His research has been continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health since the mid seventies.
Together with Frank Natterer, he initiated in 1980 the series of conferences on „Mathematical Methods in Tomography“ at the Mathematical Research Institute of Oberwolfach, Germany.
His books include 3D Imaging in Medicine (CRC, 1991 and 2000), Geometry of Digital Spaces (Birkhauser, 1998), Discrete Tomography: Foundations, Algorithms and Applications (Birkhauser, 1999), Advances in Discrete Tomography and Its Applications (Birkhauser, 2007), and Fundamentals of Computerized Tomography: Image Reconstruction from Projections (Springer, 2009). During 1992-4 he was the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging.
In recognition of his scientific work, Gabor T. Herman has honorary doctorates from Linkoping University (Sweden), Jozsef Attila University, Szeged (Hungary) and University of Haifa (Israel).

Famous quotes containing the words scientific and/or work:
“The conclusion suggested by these arguments might be called the paradox of theorizing. It asserts that if the terms and the general principles of a scientific theory serve their purpose, i. e., if they establish the definite connections among observable phenomena, then they can be dispensed with since any chain of laws and interpretive statements establishing such a connection should then be replaceable by a law which directly links observational antecedents to observational consequents.”
—C.G. (Carl Gustav)
“[To an admirer who said, “You look gorgeous”:] Oh, God, if you only knew how much work it takes.”
—Julie Wilson (b. 1925)
