I am a professor in the Department of Computer Science here at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. I earned my PhD at the University of Wisconsin in the Computer Sciences Department. I earned my bachelor's degree in Mathematics at Williams College.

I teach both undergraduate and graduate courses in the department. Here are some recent courses of interest:

• Spring 2007 Computer Science II.
• Fall 2006: Statistical and Learning Techniques for Computer Vision (with Jens Rittscher from GE).
• Spring 2006: Mathematical Techniques for Computer Vision, Graphics and Robotics
• Spring 2004: Image Registration Techniques

My research is in computer vision, specifically registration, three-dimensional modeling, and medical applications. You can learn all about our projects, our results, and our team through our group's new home page.

Two important notes:

• There are openings for both post-docs and graduate students in our lab. Topic areas include image registration, motion and 3d modeling. Post-doc candidates should contact me directly. Graduate students should apply through the departments.
  

• We are hoping people will download and test our Dual Bootstrap algorithm for 2D image registration. We are excited about its power to register a wide range of image pairs, from easy to challenging, but want others to test it as well. Please let us know your experience with the algorithm --- especially if it fails!
