Jay Kapur's Home Page


About these pages: Last update: 12/06/2004
This page is my old home page that I made years ago. It has been around in some form on several different servers since 1994, when Netscape and Internet Explorer didn't even exist. That is why it is very boring to look at. It was made while I was an undergrad at the University of Washington. For a while it was on a server at Carnegie Mellon University.  Now it is hopefully here at Yahoo Geocities to stay.
Some things I did when I was an undergrad at the University of Washington:

My Surround Sound Decoder Project (Note some errors in the schematics!)
My Face Detection Project
Some stuff at the UW BioRobotics Laboratory
I worked for a summer at the Human Interface Technology Lab


Some things I did when I was a grad student at Carnegie Mellon University:

I have been a TA for the following classes:

I worked on the Mesoscale Interface Mapping Project at CMU for my graduate research.

Here is my Masters Report which came out of the MIMS project:
Geometric correction of SEM images . (PDF format) Published in Proc. SPIE Vol. 4044, p. 165-176, Hybrid Image and Signal Processing VII


Some things I have done in the real world:

I worked for one of the many Siemens divisions in Santa Clara, CA as an intern.
I worked for Boeing in Seattle, WA as an avionics Service Engineer for a summer.
Before I left for grad school at CMU, I worked as a Software QA Engineer at Active Voice Corp. (now NEC) in Seattle, WA.
Since January 2000, I work at Microsoft in Redmond, WA. where I've worked on several releases of Windows, DirectX, and other major software projects. I've helped build the first five versions of WindowsXP Media Center Edition and Media Center in Windows Vista. Now I am a Group Program Manager working on Zune
