I am a PhD student at the Vision Lab in the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. My advisor is Dr. Allen Hanson.

I finished my Masters in Computer Engineering at the University of Kansas, Lawrence in 2007.

My undergrad degree is in Electronics and Communication Engineering from BMS College of Engineering, Bangalore, India.

My research interest is in Machine Learning for Computer Vision applications. My masters work was in moving object tracking in surveillance video. I am now working with object (plankton) recognition from underwater images and am also looking at face recognition.
