EXPERIENCE

Research involving Computer Vision with Professor Tsuhan Chen. Designed and implemented a front-end

touch-screen system used as an interface for a segmentation algorithm. Worked on a new distance metric

formulation and incorporated algorithms to help solve the metric nearness problem.

University of Central Florida (Orlando, FL) May 09 August 09

Supported by an NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Fellowship. Research involving

Computer Vision with Professor Marshall Tappen (UCF) and Dr. Rahul Sukthankar (CMU/Intel Research).

Developed an algorithm for performing competitive object recognition from a single image by using novel

machine learning formulations and semantic attributes.

Harvey Mudd College (Claremont, CA) June 08 August 08

Supported by an NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Fellowship. Research involving

Artificial Intelligence and Jazz Improvisation with Professor Robert Keller. Created an innovative system to

infer probabilistic context-free grammars using various machine learning techniques to assist in automated

Jazz improvisation.

Cornell University (Ithaca, NY) June 07 December 08

Research involving Computer Networks and Systems with Professor Paul Francis. Collected search and

advertisements data from Google for analysis. Investigated privacy in online social networks and developed

a novel system that ensures privacy from host systems. Used OPNET Modeler to model/analyze the

behavior of mobile ad-hoc networks.
