Greg Mori was born in Vancouver and grew up in Richmond, BC. He received an Hon. B.Sc. with High Distinction, in Computer Science and Mathematics, from the University of Toronto, graduating in 1999. During his undergrad years, he spent one year (97-98) as an intern at Advanced Telecommunications Research (ATR) in Kyoto, Japan. He obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley in 2004. His thesis was on computer vision, advised by Jitendra Malik. After graduating from Berkeley, he returned home to Vancouver and is currently an Assistant Professor in the School of Computing Science at Simon Fraser University. His research interests are in computer vision, and include object recognition, human activity recognition, and human body pose estimation. The main thrust of his research has been in exploring methods for analyzing images and videos of people. He has also developed methods for object recognition in cluttered scenes. He has applied those techniques to break the CAPTCHA word-recognition puzzles, work that was featured in the New York Times. Greg serves on the program committee of major computer vision conferences (ICCV, CVPR, ECCV), and was the program co-chair of the Canadian Conference on Computer and Robot Vision (CRV) in 2006 and 2007.
