Prof. Jessica Hodgins is my mentor for the DMP ( Distributed
 Mentoring Program ) 2005. She is a professor in the
 Robotics Department in Carnegie Mellon University. Her focus in
 Computer Science is Human Motion and Robotics.
She is also in charge of motion capture lab in the CMU, and under her supervision, I get a chance to learn about motion capture.

She has published numerous papers and movies related to different aspects of human motion. Here is the link for her papers and movies papers and movies

In addition to being a faculty at the CMU, she is also very active in different organizations. She participates in the CRA-W and she is the co-coordinator for the DMP program this year (2005) together with Prof. Nancy Amato from Texas A&M University.

Overall, she is really a good mentor and she helps me not just during the program, but she is also helping me anytime I need help from her, so thank you so much :). I hope CRA will have this kind of program in the coming years.
