I have graduated from CMU and I'm
currently a Postdoc
with Antonio Torralba
at MIT CSAIL. Check out my new homepage at MIT.
From 2005 until 2011 I was a PhD student at CMU's Robotics Institute working with Alyosha Efros. At CMU I also routinely collaborated with Abhinav Gupta. From 2006-2009 my work was funded by a NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. My research has also been funded by the MSR-CMU Center for Computational Thinking. 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 want to build intelligent machines that can "see" and my research draws upon ideas from computer vision, machine learning, psychology, philosophy, and physics. 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 large-scale Computer Vision problems at Google as a Software Engineering Intern. I spent both summers in Jay Yagnik's Computer Vision group in Mountain View, CA.
At CMU, I have been a Teaching Assistant for Martial Hebert's Computer Vision as well as Alyosha Efros's Learning-Based Methods in Vision.

Here is a cool summary of the PASCAL VOC 2006 dataset as

2006 Means.
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.
