The poster and video for the DEVIL benchmark are now available on the respective project page.
About Me
I am a Senior Computer Vision Engineer at SafelyYou. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where I was advised by Prof. Jason J. Corso and Prof. Honglak Lee. My graduate research explored conditional video generation as applied to tasks like video prediction, inpainting, and style transfer. I am fortunate to have interned at several companies, including Samsung, Toyota Research Institute, IBM, and MathWorks.
In 2015, I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, where I received B.S. degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics. At UMass, I did research as part of the RIPPLES lab under Prof. W. Richards Adrion and Prof. Paul E. Dickson. I worked on various aspects of the lab's Presentations Automatically Organized from Lectures (PAOL) system, including video conversion, whiteboard processing, multithreading, and the graphical user interface. For my Honors Thesis project, I proposed and evaluated a novel technique for segmenting whiteboard marker strokes in real time. Additionally, I was briefly a member of the Center for e-Design under the instruction of Prof. Jack C. Wileden and Prof. Sundar Krishnamurty, where I worked on a program that converted models between Computer-Aided Design systems.
