My project involves detecting objects (especially faces) and recognizing them given a training set of different objects of the same type.

Interests: I enjoy many sports (especially basketball and football), chess, pool, and many other competitive activities. I am easily addicted to video games and therefore try to stay away from them. I also enjoy spending time with inner city youth and giving back to my community what my community gave to me : the OPPORTUNITY to come as far as I am today.
