About:I am a PhD candidate in the Computer Science Department at the University of Rochester. My research interests lie at the intersection of computer vision, computer graphics and machine learning. | |
Research Interests:My research interests lie at the intersection of computer vision, computer graphics, and machine learning. Specifically, I am interested in recovering models of the geometric (shape, reflectance, transparency) and dynamic (motion, deformation) properties of real-world scenes (humans, objects, environments) from images and video, and using these models for applications such as scene understanding, tracking, rendering, motion synthesis and transfer, among others. My current research (including my PhD thesis) focuses on the use of probabilistic frameworks and geometric constraints to recover 3D shape and motion from multiple images. Our goal is to (1) develop theoretically sound frameworks that properly characterize the ambiguities and uncertainty inherent to the 3D reconstruction problem and to (2) design practical and robust reconstruction algorithms with provable behavior that work in the presence of such ambiguities and uncertainty.
