I am a project scientist working on automatic coding of facial expressions with Jeffrey F. Cohn and Takeo Kanade at the Robotics Institute at the Carnegie Mellon University and also in the Affect Analysis Group at the University of Pittsburgh.

I received my Ph.D of Electrical Engineering and Information Systems from the University Of Tokyo, working under the supervision of Takashi Kubota and Hideki Hashimoto. My doctoral research investigated real-time facial expression analysis using 3D deformable models.

Previously, I obtained my Master's degree in Computer Science at the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, where I worked on artifical intelligence techniques for computer Go under the supervision of Zoltán Istenes.
