I am an assistant professor at Stony Brook University as of Sept 1, 2010. I completed a Ph.D. in Fall 2005, at U.C. Berkeley with Jitendra Malik, and have had the chance to work with many wonderful people.
I am interested in all aspects of computer vision and related problems in other fields. My thesis was on shape and object recognition in images using a new take on deformable templates. I also work on algorithms for detection, recognizing and synthesizing human action in video, recovering human body poses from photographs, detecting and identifying human faces in images, detecting vehicles in images, and more...
