M.S. Electrical Engineering Advisor: Dr. Robert Collins
Laboratory for Perception, Action, and Cognition [LPAC]
Department of Computer Science and Engineering
The Pennsylvania State University
|
I am a graduate student pursuing my M.S. in
Electrical Engineering at the Pennsylvania State
University. Before coming to Penn State, I earned my undergraduate degree in
Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering at the
University of Mumbai in India. I was born in Pune and grew up in Mumbai and
Singapore.
I joined
LPAC, the Laboratory for Perception, Action, and Cognition in Fall 2009
where and I am working on tracking people and identifying their actions from video.
I am advised by Dr. Robert Collins.
My research interests are in computer vision, image processing and pattern recognition.
News
- I successfully defended my Masters Thesis titled Towards understanding people in videos.
A big thanks to my committee: Dr. Collins, Dr. Liu and Dr. Jenkins. Also, thank you to Chandu, Diana and Ingmar
for coming and supporting me at the defense!
