About

Since the Fall of 2007 I have been a Research Scientist with Google in New York City. Prior to joining Google Research (aka Google AI), I completed my PhD in the GRASP Lab at UPENN.

At Google, I lead a research team working at the intersection of Computer Vision and Machine Learning. Please contact me for internship or full-time opportunities.
