I graduated from the PhD program at Stanford University in 2005. I was
advised by prof.
Daphne Koller and collaborated actively with prof. Sebastian Thrun. My main interests are in the development and application of statistical
methods to computer vision, computer graphics and robotics problems.
I was at senior researcher at
like.com (formerly Riya.com) from 2005 through 2007. There I worked on
face recognition in consumer photos, and on algorithms to power their
visual search engine.
From 2007 to present I am working at Google on the StreetView
product, where I am responsible for pose optimization, image matching
to StreetView images, and using the StreetView car sensors to model
the environment.
