Research Interests

I am currently a graduate student in Computer Science working with Margo Seltzer. We are working on the problem of searching large facial image databases in the case where a user begins the search with only a mental image of a sought-after face (e.g., the classic mug-shot search problem). We are looking into using representations (such as eigenfaces) that have been applied successfully to database searching in face-recognition tasks and incorporating them into face-creation systems, so that a user can both create faces and search for them in a database.

In previous work, we built the Drawing Evolver, which enables a user to create drawings (including drawings of faces) with an interactive genetic algorithm. For a poster presentation about the Drawing Evolver click here.

A research paper on the Drawing Evolver can be accessed by clicking here.
