Research:
I am researching with Prof. Margrit Betke. I am part
of the Image and Video Computing
(IVC) group. My main research interest is in computer vision
applications to human
computer interaction (HCI). I am currently working on interfaces based on
head and eye gestures or motions, with applications towards
handicapped accessibility.
