I'm a PhD student in the computer science department at Columbia University. My advisor is the notorious P.N.B. I'm working on fine-grained visual categorization, recognition of—and distinguishing between—object classes that look very similar. I think much of biometrics falls into this category, and some of my work has been on face recognition.
