I am a postdoctoral researcher at WILLOW, an INRIA/ENS project. I work with Ivan Laptev, Josef Sivic, and Jean-Yves Audibert. I finished my PhD in August 2010 under the supervision of Prof. Mubarak Shah.

My research interests lie primarily in the area of computer vision, more specifically, I am interested in human action recognition, event-based video summaries, and crowd behavior analysis.
