Background
Chalom, and welcome to my home page.
I've been a student at MIT
since before the
World Wide Web
was invented. I am still here as a PhD student in the
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
(a.k.a. Course VI) Department, and my research is at the
Media Lab.
You could say I am here getting the third degree. I recently completed my
Area Exam on speech compression. My
statement of objectives
is now on line. My resume is available online. A current version (as of 3/2/98) is available in postscript or pdf format.
html format. -->
A hardcopy is also available by request.
Research
My advisor is
Professor Bove,
and my research is sponsored by the
Television of Tomorrow
Research Program. I am studying a new structured video coder
that will encode a video sequence while
preserving the structure of the regions. You can look at my
thesis proposal , and two of my related research papers:
Segmentation of
an Image Sequence Using Multi-Dimensional Image Attributes,
presented at IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP),
Lausanne, September 17, 1996.
Segmentation of
Frames in a Video Sequence Using Motion and Other Attributes,
presented at SPIE Symposium on Electronic Imaging : Science & Technology, San Jose, February 9, 1995. Or look at the
viewgraphs.
You can also see a poster that gives a general overview of the project. The pictures aren't that clear, due to compression, but you get the idea.
Chat Pages Anyone?
Here are some chat pages I maintain:
My Personal Chat Page
JAGSS Chat Page A great source to post or find Boston Jewish Housing ads! (and other topics too)
Other Interests
-
I spend some of my free time organizing events for
JAGSS,
a local intercollegiate graduate jewish group, Check out the
Announcement / discussions page I made for them recently,
you can announce upcoming events or just start a discussion on a topic
of interest. I also organize events for
MIT Hillel. Here's a link to the
BU-grad hillel.
-
During the summer I play lots of
Ultimate Frisbee.
This past summer I was a captain for one of the
BUDA summer league teams.
Also checkout the
MIT
Ultimate Team.
However, I prefer to catch & toss in real space then virtual space.
-
I do like to play backgammon in cyberspace.
**FIBS**,
or First Interactive Backgammon Server, is a place you can connect to play
backgammon with other people over the net. Look for me if you log on.
-
I'm also in charge of renting out the
Thirsty Ear Pub , MIT's on campus graduate student pub.
