I am a professor in the Computer Science Department at Colorado State University. The best part of being a professor is the balance between teaching and research. Teaching provides immediate gratification: There are always new lectures to prepare, and new and inquisitive students to question us as they learn. What and how we teach are constantly changing, and the intellectual give-and-take with students is invigorating.
Balancing the immediacy of teaching is research. I work in an area called computer vision. Most people can visually see and recognize objects effortlessly. The goal of computer vision is to develop machines that can do this just like people. Much of my own work on computer vision has been done in partnership with my colleague Bruce Draper. The two of us jointly run the Computer Vision Group at CSU. Our recent research is centered on enhanced human-machine communication via shared context, including mutual understanding of physical presence and non-verbal communication.

I am a professor of Computer Science at Colorado State University. I also hold an appointment in the Molecular, Cellular and Integrated Neuroscience (MCIN) program and work with the CSU Energy Institute. I teach at virtually all levels of the curriculum. At the graduate level, I often teach CS510 (Image Computation) and CS540 (Artificial Intelligence). My research is in recognizing people, their gestures, and their actions, and applying this to complex systems of interacting people and machines. I have served the field in many capacities, including as General Chair of CVPR in 1999 and a senior program committee member for AAAI in 2015, 2016, and 2019.
