I am currently a research scientist working with Dir. Michael Black in the areas of computer vision and machine learning. Our group's research centers on generating realistic 3D body models from 3D scan data, video and photographs. My work focuses on developing increasingly accurate models of human shape and pose, as well as web-based applications that make use of our body models.

Before working with Michael, my primary area of research was computational nanotechnology. As a PhD student at Brown, my advisor Prof. John Savage and I applied theoretical computer science toward problems in fault-tolerance and stochastic assembly. Ideally our work involved probability theory, error-correcting codes, and information theory, although the occasional computer simulation was also required.

My PhD Thesis, Reliable Computing at the Nanoscale, along with the rest of the work I did at Brown, can all be found at cs.brown.edu/~eerac.
