Research

research overview

  • I lead the Sikuli Lab where I educate a team of talented students to conduct cutting-edge research to make computers see better and interact with humans more naturally. One example is Sikuli Script, a GUI automation tool based on screenshots. Since its release as open-source software in 2010, it has been downloaded more than 200,000 times and used by a large community of users for a variety of purposes such as testing, IT automation, scraping, data transfer, and gaming.

courses taught

  • BMEN 6519 - Special Topics in Biomedical Engineering
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2024
    Credit hours and subject matter to be arranged. May be repeated up to 12 total credit hours.
  • CSCA 5112 - Introduction to Generative AI
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2023 / Spring 2024 / Summer 2024 / Fall 2024
    Students will learn about several topics related to Generative AI, including deep learning and machine learning algorithms that enable machines to generate text, images, and music. Additionally, they will also learn about the diffusion model and transformer model, which are important techniques used in Generative AI. The course will guide students on how to apply these techniques to design and build their own generative models and apply those models to new problems.
  • CSCA 5222 - Introduction to Computer Vision
    Primary Instructor - Summer 2024 / Fall 2024
    This course guides students through the essential algorithms and methods to help computers 'see' and interpret visual data. Students learn the core concepts and techniques that have been traditionally used to analyze images. Then, students learn modern deep learning methods, such as neural networks and specific models designed for image recognition, can be used to perform more complex tasks like object detection and image segmentation. Additionally, students will learn the creation and impact of AI-generated images and videos, exploring the ethical considerations of such technology. Same as DTSA 5512.
  • CSCI 1300 - Computer Science 1: Starting Computing
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2021 / Spring 2022 / Fall 2022
    Teaches techniques for writing computer programs in higher level programming languages to solve problems of interest in a range of application domains. Appropriate for students with little to no experience in computing or programming. Degree credit not granted for this course and ECEN 1310. Same as CSPB 1300.
  • CSCI 3002 - Fundamentals of Human Computer Interaction
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2018 / Spring 2019 / Spring 2021 / Summer 2024
    Introduces the practice and research of human-computer interaction, including its history, theories, the techniques of user-centered design, and the development of interactive technologies. Covers computing in society at large with respect to domains such as health, education, assistive technology, ethics, environment, and more.
