Senior Researcher

Promoted

Jun 2014 – Feb 2015 · 8 mos

Worked in Nokia Technologies' Imaging business, research and development of new computational imaging methods
From my work at Nokia, there are 11 granted patents and many pending review. Several projects I contributed to have shipped as features in Nokia phones.
Served on the imaging patenting board for Nokia - part of a worldwide committee that evaluated employees' submitted invention reports to decide whether or not the company would file a patent for it

Computational ImagingResearch and DevelopmentPatent EvaluationComputer Vision

Senior Researcher

Jul 2011 – Jun 2014 · 2 yrs 11 mos

Worked on computational imaging and computer vision algorithms.

Computer VisionAlgorithm Development

Specialist (Imaging)

Sep 2009 – Jul 2011 · 1 yr 10 mos

Research, development and productization of image processing and computer vision algorithms, in particular, worked on face algorithms. Improved existing face detection models through better training algorithms to get better models. Face detection formed the foundation for various face algorithms implemented in Nokia phones including face recognition, face clustering, red eye detection and removal, etc.
