I have recently joined Intel Labs Seattle. I had been a research assistant professor at the Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago (TTI-C) for 2006-2008. I received my Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, under the supervision of Jitendra Malik.

My research is in the areas of computer vision and artificial intelligence. My current interests are mainly in Mid-level Vision and its integration with both low-level image signal and high-level object knowledge. I have worked on contour grouping, image segmentation, figure/ground labeling, finding people in images as well as tracking and segmenting people in video.
