I am a fourth-year student at the Computer Science department at New York University. My research interests are in Computer Vision, Machine Learning and Optimization. My advisor is Rob Fergus. I have been awarded a Microsoft Research PhD Fellowship for 2010-2011 and
a Dean’s Dissertation Fellowship for 2012-2013 from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
