About Myself
I am currently an Assistant Professor at the
Department of Computer Science, National University of Singapore (NUS), where I head the Computer Vision and Robotic Perception (CVRP) Laboratory. I am also affiliated with the NUS Institute of Data Science. I was a researcher at Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL), Cambridge Massachusetts, USA from June 2014 to July 2015.
Prior to MERL, I did my PhD in Computer Science at ETH Zurich from January 2009 to March 2014 under the supervision of Prof. Marc Pollefeys. I received my B.Eng with first class honors and M.Eng degrees from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, NUS in June 2005 and February 2008, respectively. I worked at DSO National Laboratories in Singapore as a Member of Technical Staff from August 2007 to December 2008.
Research Interests
- Computer Vision: Minimal Problems, 3D Computer Vision, Structure-from-Motion (SfM), Visual Place Recognition, Human Pose Prediction/Estimation, Object Detection, and Scene Understanding.
- Robotic Perception: Self-driving car, Micro-Aerial Vehicles (MAVs), Visual Odometry, and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM).
- Machine Learning: Deep Learning and Probabilistic Graphical Modeling.
