I am a Ph.D. student in the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering (Communications Group), working with Prof. Parham Aarabi and Prof. Brendan J. Frey.  I am interested in MAP inference in probabilistic graphical models, as well as applying machine learning algorithms to problems in computer vision.  I have also spent some time working on digital audio watermarking, multi-microphone sound localization, and spoken term detection.
