CV
I'm a Ph.D. student in the Computer Science and Engineering department at UC San Diego, working in the computer vision group . My research interests are in computer vision and machine learning, and I currently work on the GroZi project. I'm advised by Serge Belongie, and am supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

I graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Washington Seattle, in 2006. As an undergrad, I collaborated with Intel Research Seattle in human activity recognition using RFID and personal sensors. Also, I spent time as a software developer at Jobster.com prior to graduate school.

For the search engines: I also go by Shiaokai.
