I am an associate professor in the department of computer science and of the University of Maryland Institute of Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS). I direct research at the Perceptual Interfaces and Reality Laboratory (PIRL), and have broad research interests in computer audition, computer vision and scientific computing. (CV)
