Work Experience:
---------------
Computer Vision (Manifold Learning)
Fall 2006 - Present
Synopsis: (1) From a set of medical images find both the tissue structure
and the motion due to physiological activity (represented as a
B-spline deformation). (2) Develop algorithms for Manifold
Learning when one of the output dimensions is known. For
example, find the inherent variations in a lung when given both
medical images and a belt reading of lung volume. (3) Fit snake
models directly to motion vectors. Usable for extracting
parameterizations of roads from stationary video.
Advisor: Professor Robert Pless

Networking (Congestion Control)
Fall 2004 - Spring 2006
Synopsis: Developed a congestion control protocol similar to TFRC
(TCP Friendly Rate Control) which is robust to receiver
misbehavior. And, I developed a router queuing discipline to
ensure end-to-end fairness.
