News |
| June 2009 Leonid Sigal, David Fleet and I will be running a tutorial for ICCV 2009: "Physics-Based Human Motion Modelling for People Tracking". If you are attending, please drop by our poster, "Estimating Contact Dynamics". A link to the paper will be added sometime in July. |
Background Information |
| I am a Ph. D. student of David Fleet at the University of Toronto in the Computer Vision group. I received my M. Sc. and Honors B. Sc. from the University of Toronto in Novermber of 2006 and June of 2004 respectively. Though American by birth I am living in Canada by choice, by wife and, more or less, by politics. Feel free to contact me at the email address above. |
Research Interests |
| A formal list of publications, including links to PDFs, videos and code, can be found here. A more formal and indepth description of my academic activites can be found in my CV. My primary research has looked at the use of physics for tracking human motion. We began by exploring abstract models of bipedal walking in the context of monocular tracking with particle filters. More recently we have looked at the dynamics of complex articulated models of the human body in tracking. I have also recently investigated the use of Bayesian methods in Electron Cryo-Microscopy with Ryan Lilien and Navdeep Jaitly. Finally, I have a strong interest in machine learning and probabilistic methods. I am currently investigating problems involved in the efficient inference of static parameters with time series data. |
