I have moved to Intel Research at Seattle (you will be forwarded there soon). I was a research assistant professor at the Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago (TTI-C). I received my Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, under the supervision of Jitendra Malik.

My research is in the areas of computer vision and artificial intelligence. My current interests are mainly in Mid-level Vision and its integration with both low-level image signal and high-level object knowledge. I have worked on contour grouping, image segmentation, figure/ground labeling, finding people in images as well as tracking and segmenting people in video.
