Robotics Institute
Carnegie Mellon University
I am a 5th year PhD student at CMU's Robotics Institute working
with Alyosha Efros. From
2006-2009 my work was funded by
a NSF
Graduate Research Fellowship. My research is in the field of
Computer Vision, and I am interested in image understanding, object
recognition, segmentation, and the machine learning techniques
required to tackle such problems. I graduated from Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute in May 2005 with Computer Science and Physics
Majors and a Minor in Mathematics. At RPI I worked for several
years with Charles
Stewart on a variety of computer vision problems.
From February until May 2008 I was a visiting student researcher at ENS Paris as part of the WILLOW Research Team.
During both Summer 2008 and Summer 2009 I worked on Computer Vision problems at Google as a Software Engineering Intern.

Fun Stuff
When not pursuing scholarly endeavours, I enjoy playing guitar, snowboarding, skiing, mountain biking, running and reading fiction. The most influential book I ever read was Thomas Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions. It made me rethink my scientific interests, and I decided that I wanted to study Computer Vision instead of becoming a theoretical physicist.
I also enjoy SCUBA Diving in warm crystal-clear waters; I obtained my SCUBA certification in Kona, Hawaii in 1998. I've visited many islands in the Caribbean such as: Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, USVI, BVI, Antigua and Barbuda, St. Martin, Dominica, as well as Costa Rica.
