I then attended Carleton, a liberal arts college in Northfield, Minnesota, "the home of cows, colleges and contentment." I thought I was going to be a chemistry major, but it turns out I am horrible at lab. I graduated in 2001 with bachelor's degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics. The liberal arts environment fit well with my appreciation of many different subjects.
In 2001 I came to Computer Science at UNC-Chapel Hill, joining the MIDAG group in 2002. I finished my Ph.D. in 2008 on appearance models for deformable model segmentation.
My research interests are in computer vision in general and medical image analysis in particular. My outside interests include ultimate frisbee, sailing, cooking, and vacationing.
An aside: my last name "Stough," despite its spelling, rhymes with "cow." It is from an earlier German "Stauch." See more on the inscrutible "ough" here.
