I am an Associate Professor and Associate Chairman in the Department of Computer & Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (CEECS) at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) (Boca Raton, Florida). I received my Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from FAU in 2001.
My research interests are in the area of intelligent processing of visual information, which combines the fields of image processing, computer vision, image retrieval, machine learning, and human visual perception. My current interests are mostly focused on: (i) the combination of human computation and machine learning techniques to solve computer vision problems; and (ii) robust methods for visual information retrieval.
