Ph.D., Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, 2008

My main research interest is computer vision, the area of computer science that tries to design algorithms that can "see". I am particularly interested in visual object recognition and scene understanding. I am also interested in other problems that involve analyzing and modeling large amounts of uncertain data, like mining data from the web and from online social networking sites.
