I am an Associate Professor at the department of Computer Science at the University of Western Ontario. My research is concentrated in the area of computer vision and biomedical imaging. I am interested in problems of early vision, image segmentation, restoration, registration, stereo, motion, feature-based object recognition, photo-video editing and others.

I received my "Diploma of Higher Education" with honors at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (department of Radio Engineering and Cybernetics) in 1992 and completed my Ph.D. at the department of Operations Research at Cornell University , Ithaca, NY, in 1996.
