I am an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Georgia since 2016. My research interests lie in the area of image and shape analysis. I am interested in developing computational methodologies for image understanding problems in the fields of medical image analysis and computer vision. I am also excited in interdisciplinary research, collaborating and working with researchers from related fields.

Before joining UGA, I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, under the supervision of Dr. Marc Niethammer. I am a recipient of the 2014 MICCAI young scientist award (a.k.a., student best paper award) and a 2015 UNC dissertation completion fellowship.

Openings

I am looking for self-motivated master and Ph.D. students to join my research group. Prior research experience in image analysis, optimization, statistical shape analysis, or other related areas is a plus. If you are interested in my research and in working with me, please send me your CV or stop by my office if you are at UGA.
