About Me

 

 
 

I am a Researcher at the Machine Learning and Perception Group at Microsoft Research  in Cambridge/UK. Please visit the areas of interest of our group. My research is focused on Optimization for Computer vision; Image Manipulation, Synthesis and Browsing; and I have also worked on Object Recognition, Stereo, and 3D reconstruction. I did my PhD at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm/Sweden within the CVAP group (old webpage). If you have any questions or comments about my research please contact me at:
