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.
