Academic Work
Dr. Pound's work current work centers on the use of machine learning, deep learning, and bioimage analysis for the purpose of plant phenotyping. His work on the identification of root and leaf tips through image-based phenotyping has been recognized as important in the field of bioimage analysis.

The image analysis tool RootNav was developed by a research team led by Dr. Pound. The tool uses image analysis to identify complex root system architechtures. It has been made available to the scientific community and has been used by other researchers in the field to facilitate batch processing of high numbers of images in various studies of plant phenotyping.

Media Appearances
Dr. Pound has made numerous appearances on Brady Haran's video series Computerphile. During these appearances, Pound has discussed numerous aspects of his work including password cracking, including brute forcing; kernel convolution; and image analysis.
