Hi!
I am a fourth year Ph.D. student in the Computer Engineering program at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
My main areas of interest are computer vision and machine learning, with a focus on mobile applications and assistive technology. I am recently getting interested in computational photography as well.
My adviser is
Prof. R. Manduchi.
