Oscar Beijbom

I'm a Ph.D Candidat at the Computer Vision group at the UCSD computer science department. My research focuses on the automated annotation and analysis of scientific data. Specifically, I focus on the automated annotation of coral reef survey images, within the scope of a National Science Foundation project: Computer Vision Coral Ecology. My advisors are professors David Kriegman and Serge Belongie.

Before joining UCSD I was lead developer at Hövding, a Swedish startup company. As their first employee and engineer I created the algorithmic framework and hardware design for Hövding's renowned invisible bicycle helmet.

I received my joint B.S / M.S degree in Engineering Physics from Lund University in 2007. My masters thesis work at Cellavision on Single Image Focus Level Assessment Using Support Vector Machines received several awards and generated an international patent.
