[Resume]

I'm a post-doc researcher in the Interactive Visual Media group. My research interests are in Computer Vision. I work in the area of 3D modeling from Images and Video, Camera Calibration, Structure from Motion, Image-based Rendering and related topics. in Computer Graphics.

I did my PhD under the supervision of Marc Pollefeys at UNC Chapel Hill. My thesis was on Silhouettes for Calibration and Reconstruction from Multiple Views. Please visit my UNC research page for more details.
