brief bio

As of September 2007, I am a postdoc at the Computation Vision lab at Caltech under Pietro Perona. My graduate work was under the guidance of Serge Belongie and supported by the NSF IGERT fellowship. I succefully defended my PhD in Computer Science at UCSD in August 2007; the topic of my dissertation was "Learning from Local Image Regions." My interests lie in machine learning and pattern recognition, and their application to computer vision.
