Research Experience
Participated in 5 startup computer companies from 2000 to 2006 (co-founder in 3; 4 are still operating)
Led development of multiple video codecs and tools, including the MSU Lossless Video Codec (best in 2005–2007) and Visicron Cyclon codec (best for video conferencing streams in 2001–2004)
Developed the 'MSU video filters' research prototypes with over 3 million downloads
Created deinterlacing and frame rate conversion filters for Samsung TVs and Broadcom set-top boxes
Developed the MSU Video Quality Metrics Tool containing the largest collection of video quality metrics, mostly from self-tuning video filter projects
Developed tools for 3D video including depth reconstruction, depth propagation/editing, GPU-accelerated optical flow, and stereo-multiview generation
