Robotics Institute
Carnegie Mellon University
I am a fourth year PhD student at CMU's Robotics Institute
working with Alyosha
Efros under an 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 Summer 2008, I worked on Computer Vision problems at Google as a Software Engineering Intern in Mountain View, CA.
This semester I'm TAing 16-721 Learning-Based Methods in Vision, taught by Alexei Efros.

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.
