I am an assistant professor of Computer Science at Drexel University. Prior to joining Drexel in fall 2005, I was a postdoctoral research scientist at Columbia University. I received all my degrees from The University of Tokyo: both BE and ME in Information and Communication Engineering (CE) in 1997 and 1999, respectively, and PhD in Information Science (CS) in 2002.
My research interests primarily lie in computer vision. In particular, I strive to develop novel models and computational algorithms to better extract, understand, and regenerate visual information from photographs and videos. To this end, my main focus centers on leveraging intrinsic structures of visual data -- the latent structures that can be found in the geometry, radiometry, and motion of real-world scenes that are not necessarily apparent to our naked eyes.
