Bio: I graduated with a PhD from UC Berkeley, where I was advised by David Forsyth. I spent the last two years as a research professor at TTI-Chicago. I was fortunate enough to be a visting researcher at the Visual Geometry Group at Oxford, the Robotics Institute at CMU, and the Interactive Visual Media Group at Microsoft Research. I work primarily in computer vision, but am also interested in machine learning and computer graphics. Recent projects I've worked on: Object recognition (recent invited talks at PASCAL VOC 2007, 2009) Discriminative machine learning methods (2009 Marr prize paper) People tracking and activity recognition (tutorial from 2006)
