About Me
I'm a fifth-(and-final!-)year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at The University of Chicago, where I do research in the field of Computer Vision. My advisor is Pedro Felzenszwalb.
Research Interests
- Computer Vision (primarily object category detection/classification/localization)
- Machine Learning
- AI (broadly speaking)
