I am currently a research fellow in the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, working with Martial Hebert and Drew Bagnell. I am also a cooperative research fellow at the University of Tokyo working with Yoichi Sato and Takahiro Okabe. I was an assistant professor at the University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo (Japan) for three years from 2008 to 2011, working with Hideki Koike and Takuya Nojima. I completed my MS (2005) and PhD (2008) studies at the University of Tokyo at the SATO laboratory, where I worked on modeling and recognizing human activities from video.
