My research is aimed to address important problems of HDR imaging to facilitate a quicker transition to this new imaging pipeline. I'm also interested in the human visual system, visual perception, color, and image statistics. I define my research interest to be at the intersection of computer graphics, image processing, and computer vision. If you would like to work with me as a student, you can get in touch by e-mail or in person. Some background in computer graphics, image processing, and computer vision would be helpful. I am honored to have worked as the supervisor of the following students.
