Projects

2003 – current VXL Developer (open source C++ vision libraries)
Work with software developers around the world in academia (Brown, RPI, Oxford, etc.) and industry (GE, Kitware, Imorphics, etc.) to develop C++ code for computer vision. Currently designer and lead maintainer of the next generation VXL video processing library. Also working to make VXL multithreaded and improve cross-platform GUI functionality using wxWidgets.
2008 – current CMake Module Maintainer (cross platform make)
Contribute and maintain modules for CMake. These modules are used to search for dependent packages when building software. CMake is used by many large scale software projects including VXL, VTK, and KDE.
2006 – 2007 Computer Vision Forensics
Worked in teams as part of a course project to identify an unknown suspect and his vehicle in real crime scene surveillance footage using computer vision. Results of this work are currently being used in a murder investigation in Henrico County, VA.

Honors and Awards

2007 - 2008 NASA Rhode Island Space Grant Fellow
During this fellowship I devoted some of my time to K-12 outreach. I gave science presentations to K-12 classes to encourange an interest in NASA and science in general.
2007 Best Paper SIBGRAPI
One of three best paper awards. Each best paper was invited to submit an extended version to the Computer Graphic Forum. The extended paper was one of two selected for publication.
