Bio:
Dr. Pietro Perona is the Allen E. Puckett Professor of Electrical Engineering at Caltech. He directs Computation and Neural Systems (www.cns.caltech.edu), a PhD pogram centered on the study of biological brains and intelligent machines. Professor Perona's research centers on vision. He has contributed to the theory of partial differential equations for image processing and boundary formation, and to modeling the early visual system's function. He is currently interested in visual categories and visual recognition.

Reaching me by email:
Email is the best way to reach me; unfortunately, I am not terribly efficient in reading all the email I receive.
Sometimes you do not need to reach me directly:

  • for scheduling appointments and time-sensitive issues mail to assistant@vision.caltech.edu
  • for direct communication use perona@caltech.edu. Please summarize the main points of your message in the first paragraph. I only pay attention to the first few lines of each message, so it is best to send separate messages with appropriate titles if you wish to communicate on independent topics.
  • for matters related to the NSF Engineering Research Center mail to director@erc.caltech.edu
  • prospective graduate students please read our 'contact' page
