Research

In the late 1990s, Dr. Morgans' work on image processing led to the development of the Passport Reader security features. This initiative was sponsored by 3M-Innovation and led to the security features still in use on most passports right now. In the early 2000s Dr. Morgan worked with the 3GPP, IETF, IEEE, and IEEE-SA through the IEEE-802.11p sub-working group and project P1609.x (vehicular communications known as WAVE) to establish standards including connected vehicle standards. The pioneering work led to the evolution of vehicular communications which paved the way to the evolving auto-driven systems coming to market now. Dr. Morgan has been working on Cybersecurity solutions for the last 10 years.
