Background

 Picture

I am a 2nd year Ph.D. student in The Robotics Institute, part of Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science. I am advised by Professor Martial Hebert.

I recieved my Bachelor's and Master's Degrees from Washington University in St. Louis, where I was advised by Dr. Robert Pless.

Prior to beginning my graduate studies, I interned and consulted at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, NJ and Bangalore, India. At Bell Labs, I worked on various projects involving novel methods for mobile content delivery and network optimization.

I am computer vision researcher, currently exploring methods to better model human actions, aimed at improving the accuracy of event detection algorithms.
