Ara received the Electronics Engineering Diploma in 1993 from "Politehnica" University of Bucharest, the MS in 1995 and Ph.D. in 1999 both in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Tech, Atlanta. His Ph.D. thesis focused on the theory of two-dimensional hidden Markov models with applications in face detection and recognition. Ara is now with Intel's Application Research Lab in Santa Clara, California (web page).

Research    

Research interests are in the general area of computer vision, signal and image processing, pattern recognition, statistical machine learning and signal modeling. Current research includes the study of graphical models for face recognition, image mining, gesture recognition, audio-visual speech processing and visual navigation.
