  About  

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at George Mason Univeristy. Before joining GMU, I was an Assistant Professor in the Division of Computer Science and Engineering at Louisiana State University from 2017 to 2021. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Delaware in 2014 and B.Eng. in Electrical Engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2009.

My research interests are in the areas of computer vision, computational photography, computer graphics, and machine learning. I'm particularly interested in designing novel imaging systems and computational algorithms to use the rich visual information in our environment for robotics and AR/VR applications. Please visit our lab website (Imaging and Vision Lab) for more information.

Looking for motivated PhD students. Interested students can apply for the GMU Computer Science PhD program and mention my name in your application. You may also drop me an email with your resume so I'm aware of your application.
