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 and visual
search.
In recent work we have developed
techniques that 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 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.
