Name FAQ: `Foe'-`eee'. It rhymes with snowy or Joey: the key is to forget how it is spelled. It (but not me) is from the County Cork, Ireland.
Pictures: One picture is hard to identify a person with. Here are some more.

Executive summary: I am a postdoctoral fellow (2016-) at UC Berkeley, working with Jitendra Malik and Alyosha Efros. I received a Ph.D. in Robotics (2011-2016) from The Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, where I worked with Abhinav Gupta and Martial Hebert and was a NSF and then NDSEG fellow.

Research

I work on computer vision and machine learning. I am interested in getting computers to understand the world in terms of: as well as how these two relate to semantics, or a language-based understanding.
