Pramod K. Varshney’s pioneering work on distributed detection theory and data fusion methods have fueled the proliferation of wireless multisensor networks for the aerospace industry and other applications.

Dr. Varshney has also made important contributions to image processing with methods for mutual information-based image registration, feature extraction, and classification using hyperspectral data. His stochastic resonance approach enhances mammogram images and improves the likelihood of early breast cancer detection.
