I am a member of the research faculty at the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS).  I completed my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, MD, in 2010.  I received the B.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Applied Mathematics (with honors) and the M.S. degree in Applied Mathematics from North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, in 2004 and 2005, respectively.  In 2010, I was an ORAU postdoctoral fellow with the U.S. Army Research Laboratory.

My broad research interests are in signal processing, computer vision, machine learning and pattern recognition with applications to biometrics and radar imaging.
