Bryan Russell

Research: My research interests are primarily in computer vision. I am particularly interested in scene understanding and object recognition, with emphasis on reasoning about 3D geometry and large-scale data.

Bio: I received my Ph.D. from MIT in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in 2007 under the supervision of Professors William T. Freeman and Antonio Torralba. I was a post-doctoral fellow from 2008-2010 in the INRIA Willow team at the Département d'Informatique of Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, France.
