Austin Myers

I am a Ph.D. student in the department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland. I work in the Computer Vision Lab and Autonomy Robotics Cognition (ARC) Lab under the supervision of Yiannis Aloimonos and Cornelia Fermüller. I am interested in researching how intelligent systems can perceive and interact with the world. Currently, I am working on recognizing the functions of object parts, so that robots can find the right tool for their task. I am also one of the main organizers for the UMD Computer Vision Student Seminars (CVSS). Resume/CV
