ABOUT ME 

I am now a fourth year PhD student at the Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, Michigan State University. I have been working as a research assistant at Embodied Intelligence Lab, under Prof. John Weng.  My research interests are in the areas of computer vision, mobile robotics, artificial intelligence and machine learning. Specifically, I am interested in the statistical learning and biologically motivated models of cognition, learning, and development, and their application to computer vision and other sensor-based  problems. 

I am currently working with Toyota Technical Center on the project of driver assistance for automotives. Before that, I worked with General Motor Corp. for the project of object classification based on the sensor fusion of radar and vision systems. And also, I joined with other EI members for the sensor-based navigation of autonomously driving urban vehicles, as called DARPA Grand Challenge 2007. Some more detailed information is on my research section of the websites. 

Two robots, SAIL and Dav were built in our lab for the experiments and implements for the studies of autonomous mental developmental learning. I am responsible for some hardware maintenance, software development and experiment design for the robot DAV.  For more detail about the robot's work, please go to the lab page.
