About
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech. My research is at the intersection of computer vision, natural language processing, and multimedia. I am interested in many problems requiring reasoning across multimodal data, including cross-modal retrieval, information extraction, and knowledge representation. I am associated with the Sanghani Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics.
Prior to joining Virginia Tech, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Columbia University working with Professor Shih-Fu Chang.
