I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Prior to joining UNC, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Facebook AI where I worked with Lorenzo Torresani. Before that, I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania with Jianbo Shi. I did my undergraduate studies at Dartmouth College.
Prospective Graduate Students: I am recruiting motivated students in computer vision. If you are interested, please email me an overview of your prior work and your CV.
Undergraduates at UNC: If you are interested in computer vision research, especially its applications to sports/basketball, please email me your CV and transcript.
Research Interests
My research interests are in computer vision and machine learning. In particular, I'm interested in the topics of video understanding, human behavior modeling, multi-modal deep learning, and transfer learning. I'm also passionate about using computer vision for advanced basketball analytics.
