I am currently working in RPI's computer vision lab under Professor Chuck Stewart. My current area of research surrounds image feature extraction whereby information that reliably characterizes areas within an image is produced. This information then has many possible uses, from object recognition within a scene to scene recognition within a database of tens of thousands of locations.

My interest in computer science started as a progression of my curiosity and appreciation for intricate mechanical devices such as clocks and automatons. I find the level of interconnectivity of many components all working towards a common goal to be fascinating.

My interests in perception and cognition are well at home in the field of computer vision. I will have achieved Graduate status after December '07 and will then begin full time research. Aside from my research I have a strong affinity for the study of languages.
