Dr. Martin Kermit and Dr. Dongsheng Bu join CAMO Inc.

Dr. Martin Kermit

Dr. Martin Kermit will join CAMO Process division in Oslo, Norway, as Research Scientist on June, 1st 2004. At CAMO he will become part of R&D and Product Development Team and will also provide Customer Support for our users in Europe, South America and Australia.

Dr. Martin Kermit completed a PhD in Computer Sciences, Mathematical Modeling and Neural Computing in 2003. With a strong theoretical background from physics and mathematics, Martin finished his Masters thesis in mathematical models of the biophysical properties in the biological neural system in 1997. To strengthen his computational skills, he worked for two years in the School of Computer Sciences, Østfold College after the Master graduation. During this period, he acquired practical computer skills as well as research experience in robotics, digital image and signal analysis as well as artificial intelligence and neural networks. In 1999, he attended a Ph.D. program at the computer science department at the University of Oslo. Three and a half year later, he finished his Ph.D. thesis on neural processing models for sensory signal analysis. The thesis is the first of its kind in Norway and describes pioneering work in the application of different neural networks and other multivariate statistical methods for analysis of various real world signals obtained from sensing instruments. New and improved algorithms are also proposed in the thesis which is essentially a collection of a total of five international journal articles with peer review plus various short papers presented at international conferences. After his dissertation, he has been working as a Post Doc at the Agricultural University of Norway and the research focus has been on data analysis acquired from biological processes.

Martin is Danish, 32 years old, is married and has an 18 months old son.


Dr. Dongsheng Bu

Dr. Dongsheng Bu has joined CAMO Smart division in Woodbridge, USA. At CAMO he becomes part of R&D and Product Development Team. And will also provide Customer Support for our user base in USA and Canada.

Dr. Dongsheng Bu is a Chemometrician, Spectroscopy expert and Statistician. He has more than 10 years experience in spectroscopic applications, chemometrics and statistical analysis. He was a Senior Scientist at Argose, a Medical device company for the development of noninvasive glucose monitoring device. Prior to joining Argose he was an Engineer in Shanghai Institute of Ceramics Chinese Academy of Science. Dr. Bu has 16 published papers and presentations, and 2 patents in the areas of chemometrics algorithm development. He has developed an interactive, self-modeling mixture analysis algorithm; infrared biomedical hyperspectral image analysis and extensive method development for chemical/biochemical measurement. He obtained his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from University of Rhode Island in 2000, where he developed FT-IR, UV/Vis spectroscopic techniques for chemometric model testing and polymer synthesis control and Sensor development. At URI, he worked on projects for AT&T Bell Laboratories where he characterized contaminants of glass rod samples by the use of diffuse reflectance NIR and performed IR, UV/Vis analyses of biochemical samples from Rhode Island Crime Laboratory. At the Surface Science and Technology Work Station at URI, Dongsheng developed doped Sol-Gel glasses in tube as aqueous copper sensors and tested methods of using organometallic material for carbon monoxide detection. He and received his BS in Chemical Physics from East China University of Chemical Technology.


We at CAMO believe that these additions will add tremendous depth in the field of Chemometry and neural networks.
