I am currently a research scientist working with Prof. Michael Black in the areas of computer vision and machine learning. Our group's research centers on generating realistic 3D body models from 3D scan data, video and photographs. My work focuses on developing increasingly accurate models of human shape and pose, as well as web-based applications that make use of our body models. Our group is currently based in Tubingen, Germany at the MPI for Intelligent Systems.

Before working with Michael, my primary area of research was computational nanotechnology, in which John Savage and I applied theoretical computer science to the ominous domains of fault-tolerance and stochastic assembly. Ideally this involved probability, coding/information theory, and complexity theory, although the occasional computer simulation was sometimes required.
