I am currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Manitoba in Canada.

My research interests include a variety of topics including both computer vision and human vision, image processing, visual attention, machine learning, computational neuroscience, information theory, sparse coding, 3D modeling and reconstruction, natural image statistics, and statistical and graphical models. 

Prior to joining the University of Manitoba I completed two post-doctoral fellowships, one at the Centre for Vision Research at York University, and the other at INRIA Sophia Antipolis. Previously, I completed a Ph.D. in the department of Computer Science and Engineering in 2008 as a member of the Centre for Vision Research at York University, Toronto, Canada. In 2003, I completed a M.A.Sc in System Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo, and received an Honours B.Sc. with a double major in Computer Science and Mathematics from the University of Guelph in 2001.
