Bio:

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Computer and Information Science at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, University of Pennsylvania. My research interests lie in the field of computer vision, especially shape-based object recognition and segmentation in images and videos; co-segmentation for image matching; parsing of 3D Range Imagery. I have worked on the above projects with my advisor Prof. Kostas Daniilidis as well as with Prof. Jianbo Shi and Prof. Ben Taskar.

Prior to Philadelphia, I did my undergraduate studies at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany, where I got inspired for computer vision by Prof. Hans-Hellmut Nagel. I spent six months in the Spring of 2005 at INRIA, France, working on my diploma thesis on activity recognition. In the Summer of 2008 I was an intern at Google Research, New York, working on object detection in videos.
