My research interests are in computer vision and machine learning. I did my graduate work at the University of Massachusetts - Amherst, under the supervision of Professor Erik Learned-Miller. The main focus of my work was developing weakly-supervised learning methods for improving unconstrained face verification. For more information and publications, see my UMass-Amherst webpage, and Labeled Faces in the Wild, a database for studying unconstrained face verification.

I'm now in the Viren Jain Lab, working on developing algorithms for machine segmentation of EM images.
