Prospective students
I am always looking for new self-motivated undergraduate and graduate students to join my research group. Basically, at a minimum, you'll need a GPA of 3.3 or higher and have good C, C++, and UNIX programming skills. Prior experience in image processing, computer vision, pattern recognition and machine learning is desirable. Must be hard working and eager to learn.
