Assistant Professor in the School of Computing and Faculty Fellow at the Institute for AI at the University of Georgia.
I care deeply about solving fundamental questions in computer vision and general AI, and about building on these results to create models and tools that push the boundary of science and improve people's quality of life.
Understanding our world using visual data with state-of-the-art deep learning — and applying it to create meaningful impact across science and society.
Computer Vision
Core problems that shape how intelligent systems see, interpret, and generate the visual world, and how to build models that do these things well.
Fundamental AI
How deep neural networks behave, learn, generalize, and build useful multimodal representations.
AI for Science & Society
How to create meaningful impact through AI beyond traditional computer vision and machine learning applications.
