In computer vision, we seek to build systems that can visually understand and interact with their environment. Motivated by this goal, I think about roughly three different things: developing methods to acquire meaningful information from visual data; finding efficient representations for this information; and applying these representations to a variety of visual tasks.
Current focus areas include shape and appearance capture, color image processing, human perception of colors and glossy shapes, reflectance and illumination modeling, physics-based approaches to scene understanding, face recognition, and socially-aware vision systems.
I'm in the process of updating this site with content from my personal page. If you are looking for something in particular, you may have more luck there.

Shape from Specular Reflections
A curved specular surfaces presents an observer with a distorted view of its environment, and these distortions contain rich information about its shape. Humans seem to make use of this visual cue, but for the most part, machines do not. more »
Light-weight Appearance Capture
The goal of this project is to lay the foundation for ubiquitous image-based appearance capture systems. By developing tools that exploit common visual phenomena, we hope to build image-based appearance capture systems that are simultaneously accurate and practical. more »
