I am a PhD candidate at the ECE department. My research focus has been in statistics and geometry, applied towards problems in computer vision, especially those that arise in visual tracking. I also fiddle around with ideas in control theory. I work at the Center for Automation Research with Prof. Rama Chellappa. A summary of my research and projects I have worked on can be found here. Here is a link to some group lunch pictures
