I am a PhD candidate in the Computer Science & Engineering Department at the Pennsylvania State University. As a member of the Laboratory for Perception, Action and Cognition (LPAC), I work with Yanxi Liu and Bob Collins. My expected graduation is August 2010.

The common thread of my research has been in understanding the theory and application of a probabilistic graphical model on computer vision problem. My particular interests are in automatic understanding of 3D from an image, perceptual grouping, event recognition, and an efficient inference algorithm.
