My graduate studies have been partly sponsored by The Fulbright Program, Colciencias and Universidad del Norte (at Barranquilla, Colombia).

Research

My research work is in computer vision, advised by Prof. Fei-Fei Li.

The main topic of my research is video analysis for automatic detection and recognition of human motion. This includes computer algorithms that can automatically find people in real-life video sequences and reason about what they are doing. My work usually involves techniques from image processing, statistics and machine learning.

I have also worked in other topics which include object recognition, embedded systems and robotics.

I was part of the UIUC-Princeton Team that won the First Place (software league) in the 1st Sematic Robot Vision Challenge at AAAI-07. You can visit our Team Page; we were featured in The Wire, the ECE Illinois Weekly Newsletter; and also in the Princeton CS Department news.

I was an organizer for BAVM2009: Bay Area Vision Meeting on Image and Video Understanding; Stanford, CA. August 14th, 2009. Read More
