About Eric
I am a third year PhD student in the computer science and engineering department at UC San Diego. I study computer vision and machine learning as a student of Serge Belongie.
Bio
While an undergrad at Swarthmore College, I worked in the summers with Gary Cottrell on a variety of cognitive science topics, thanks to whom I have an interest in machine vision and biologically inspired models. In 2008 I graduated with a BA in math and a minor in computer science.
In my first year at UCSD, I focused on machine learning while working with Charles Elkan. Mostly I took classes, especially ones with application to machine learning.
In the winter of my second year, I joined the lab of Serge Belongie. With him, I've worked on computer vision applications for the visually impaired, data-driven approaches for face verification under varying conditions, and super resolution.
Research Interests
Super-resolution, object detection in video, computer vision generally, machine learning generally.
