Education:

Master of Science in Computer Science, Cum Laude

Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia

Thesis: MacVisSTA: A System for Multimodal Analysis of Human Communication and Interaction

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Cum Laude

Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio

Work experience:

6/06 – 9/09: Computer Scientist at NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology).

Contracting Officer Technical Representative (COTR) and computer vision evaluation co-

coordinator.

• Created custom code for data analysis and transformation using Python and shell scripting

•Participated in design and implementation of computer vision challenge evaluations, such as:

•Video Retrieval (TRECVid): airport surveillance task

•Advanced Video and Signal Surveillance (AVSS): multiple camera, single camera, paired

camera person tracking

•Performed multi-modal data collection (audio/video) in the NIST meeting room using a

distributed, grid computing system

•Managed contracts for data collection, video annotation, implementation of evaluation code

(using object oriented Perl), and transfer of open source video evaluation tools to NIST

codebase

8/04 – 6/06: VT Graduate Research Assistant in Computer Science.

•Engaged in human-computer interaction research to create a user interface for multi-modal

analysis of human communication (audio, video, speech transcripts, motion tracking data,

etc.)

•Assisted with multi-camera calibration and audio/video recording

•Performed manual labeling (assisted by kinematic modeling) of motion capture data captured by

Vicon cameras

•Performed assembly and shipment of multi-modal datasets (audio/video/motion capture)

11/02 – 06/04: VISLab Research Engineering Undergraduate, WSU.

•Performed annotation of video to aid in understanding of human communicative behavior

•Assisted with multi-camera calibration and audio/video recording
