M. Usman Rafique

I am PhD candidate at the University of Kentucky working on computer vision and machine learning. Broadly, my research is about combining information from multiple images for scene understanding and image synthesis.

I am a member of the Multimodal Vision Research Lab working with Dr. Nathan Jacobs. My co-advisor is Dr. Samson Cheung.

My old website from my teaching days is available here (no longer maintained).
