Sabbatical Leave 2023-2024
I am on sabbatical leave from Grinnell College during the 2023–2024
school year while working as a visiting researcher at
the Centre de Visió per
Computador in the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
Research Interests
I am interested in visual learning, especially inducing properties of the environment, i.e. what are relevant features? what is an appropriate model of reasoning for a visual task? Typically this involves bringing many sources of information to bear on a problem and using them in a unified fashion.
More details may be found in my research projects or publications
