I
am an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Sciences at the
Research
My research interests are in computer vision and
machine learning. In general, the goal
of computer vision is to develop the algorithms and representations that will
allow a computer to autonomously analyze visual information. I am especially interested in learning and
recognizing visual object categories, inferring object properties such as shape
or pose from images, and methods for content-based image retrieval.
In recent work we have developed techniques that
uniquely integrate computational theory and machine learning to provide
efficient, effective solutions to vision problems. We are interested in ways to leverage the often
incomplete and even evolving information that surrounds visual content. Algorithms that are both highly efficient and
require minimal human supervision are critical, if we are to scale recognition
and image retrieval to the level where they can accommodate the vast amount of
visual data that is already available.

Note to prospective students
If
you are currently a CS graduate student at UT-Austin and would like to discuss
potential research projects with me, please send me email and we can arrange a
time to meet.
If
you are a prospective student interested in computer vision research at
UT-Austin, please read about our graduate
admissions process. Unfortunately, I
am not always able to respond to emails about applications to our graduate program. If you are applying to the CS department and
are interested in my research group, please state this specifically in your
statement of purpose.
