I have just finished my PhD from the Computer Science department at New York University. My research interests are in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Optimization and Numerical Linear Algebra. My advisor was Rob Fergus. I was 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.
In Fall 2013, I will start Postdoctoral work at MIT’s CSAIL Lab with Bill Freeman.
