Research Interests
I am passionate about gaining a deeper understanding of perception, learning and intelligence. My practical interests are in analyzing faces, biometrics and human event recognition. From an academic perspective I am extremely interested in computer vision, machine learning and how these evolving topics relate to deeper questions concerning Artificial Intelligence (AI).
