Research Interests
I am interested in the general fields of computer vision, estimation, optimization, learning, and recognition. Currently I am working on developing new techniques for studying animal behavior and locomotion. Currently my efforts focus on motion tracking and estimation. Future efforts will include developing robust recognition algorithms to identify different types of behavior. My hope is that novel vision tracking systems will help unravel the mysteries of animal behavior.
