Bryan Russell

I am a Research Scientist/Researcher-in-Residence as part of the Intel Science and Technology Center for Visual Computing (ISTC-VC) and an Affiliate Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington.

Research: My research interests are primarily in computer vision. In particular, I am interested in visual scene understanding and object recognition. More recently, I am interested in cross-domain matching and alignment of historical architectural paintings to 3D models constructed from photographs.

Bio: I received my Ph.D. from MIT in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in 2008 under the supervision of Professors William T. Freeman and Antonio Torralba. I was a post-doctoral fellow from 2008-2010 in the INRIA Willow team at the Département d'Informatique of Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, France.
