I'm a Ph.D student at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Michigan State University while being advised by University Distinguished Professor Dr. Anil K. Jain. I'm a member of Biometric Research Group at the Pattern Recognition and Image Processing Laboratory (PRIP), and my research topics are Content-Based Image Retrieval, Biometrics and Machine Learning.

Recent Activities

- On June 15, 2009, "Scars, marks, and tattoos: a soft biometric for identifying suspects and victims" is published in SPIE Newsroom.

 

- On June 3 - 5, 2009, I gave the Tattoo-ID System demo at IEEE International Conference on Bioemetircs (ICB2009), Italy
