Purpose:	Seeking summer internship in the area of mobile computing and vision or image based navigation
Education:	PhD in progress at University of Washington in Computer Science and Engineering Topic: Supporting augmented reality environments with camera phones Advisors: Gaetano Borriello and Steve Seitz
	Master of Science at University of Washington in Computer Science and Engineering, 2004 Coursework: automata theory, artificial intelligence, software engineering, computer graphics, advanced graphics, algorithms, networks, human computer interaction, operating systems, computer vision, location-aware computing
	Bachelor of Science from University of California, Berkeley in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2000 (High Honors)
Experience:	Research Assistant	University of Washington, 2002-present
	Image-Based Localization and Augmented Reality: Creating a system that can estimate location and orientation from a camera phone image, then use that camera pose to overlay information onto the image of the environment. This system supports low cost augmented reality for applications like navigation assistance and location-based information retrieval.
	Navigation Assistance for Individuals with Cognitive Impairments: Developing a navigation interface and device that can support individuals with cognitive impairments in their daily life. Includes developing an understandable interface and designing a system that can track and respond to individual situations.
	Microbiology Lab Information Overlay: An extension of the Labscape project (now TeraNode) to track microbiology trays and pipettes with a camera, record interactions, and display information onto the physical objects using a projector.
	Motion Capture from a Single Camera Video Stream: Work on capturing human motion from a single camera video stream in a physical-model based fashion within space-time framework.
	Teaching Assistant	University of Washington, 2001-2002
	Teaching assistant for introductory programming class and machine organization.
	Design and Programming Consultant	Kidsource Online, Inc/OrthoBiotech, 2001-present
	Web development and database management consulting across various websites: JSP, java, and html programming, application server management and deployment, database integration and management, and python scripting.
	Software Engineer	Open Telephone Network, 1999-2001
	Java and python development of GUI, communications, and state flow software for managing system components and communications
	Undergraduate Research Assistant	University of California, Berkeley, 1998-1999
	Java development of an IC Fabrication learning tool for UC Berkeley's beginning EE&CS course
