General Info:

I am a Research Specialist at the University of Minnesota in the Computer Science and Engineering Department. I am associated with the Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Vision Lab and work with Dr. Nikolaos Papanikolopoulos and Dr. Osama Masoud. I am still here to finish my PhD in computer vision but I am spending more time working than making academic progress. As I have been saying for the last several years, I am "about two years" away from finishing.
