“Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.”
Albert Einstein
Welcome! I am an assistant professor working with the Department of Computer Science at the University of Memphis, where I lead the CUBES Lab (Computational Understanding of Behaviors, Experiences, and States). My research interests span topics in machine learning, signal processing, algorithmic bias/fairness, and data collection and annotation methods, especially as they pertain to human behavior and experience modeling. I have a diverse background in industry, working as a video game and serious game developer and as an R&D engineer on problems in robotics, computer vision, human-computer interaction systems, and geospatial visualization.
I'm always interested in hearing from prospective PhD students who want to take a computational approach to understanding human behavior. If that's you, get in touch.
P.S. If you're reaching out about joining the lab, please skip the credentials rundown in your email (that's what your attached CV is for) — and instead tell me, in your own words (not AI), what topic related to our lab's research you connect with the most, and why.
