Welcome!
Update: I successfully defended my thesis on Feb 29, 2008. I have now joined the Honda Research Institute in Cambridge, MA where I am working on computer vision for vehicular and robotics applications.I
My research revolves around
the application of
Bayesian statistics to robotics, computer vision, and machine learning
problems.
On the robotics side, my
interests
include mapping, localization,
planning and
spatial reasoning. I work mainly on geometric reconstruction and object
recognition in vision. In the machine learning domain, my
interests span hierarchical modeling, model selection, and linear
dynamical systems. All these problems share the requirement of modeling
data obtained from systems working in complex, real-world environments.
In addition, the diversity of data sources, such as sensing devices on
robots, each with its own error
characteristics and limitations, adds to the challenge. My research is
driven by the belief that theoretically sound algorithms based on
probabilistic modeling are well-suited to the task of providing robust
solutions to these problems.
Here is a list of projects I have
been involved in (in reverse chronological order) -
