My main academic interests are in computer
science, especially computer graphics, computer vision, machine learning,
and user interfaces.
I also have a strong interest in physics, and in fact,
my original field of study at Harvard was chemistry and physics (I
switched to CS in my junior year).

|
My current research area applies machine
learning techniques to problems in computer vision and computer graphics.

Though somewhat unrelated to my
main fields of study, music also interests me greatly. I sing in
the CMU Concert Choir, and I practice the violin and the piano
whenever I can. (Alas, practice time becomes scarcer with each
passing year, though.) I've also tried my hand at composing before,
and from time to time, I still feel the itch to do more of it.
