★ BIOGRAPHY

 

I am currently a PostDoc at DiscoverLab of University of Ottawa. I received my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from University of Ottawa in 2008. My Ph.D. research is focused on real-time vision-based hand tracking and gesture recognition. My general research interests include vision-based object detection, tracking and recognition, statistical/syntactic pattern recognition, vision-based human-computer interactions.
