Academe

I began my academic research with an interest in generalized belief propagation, under the supervision of Prof. Robert J. McEliece. I then took an interest in machine vision and in particular saliency models with Prof. Christof Koch. My PhD thesis focused on face perception and representation in visual cortex, a project carried out with Prof. Ralph Adolphs.
