Round two of cyber stalking! No, but really, I do not think that people within my field really use social media that much. I scanned Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, Tumblr, Twitter, WordPress, and Youtube only to find minimal results.

1. Who I am Stalking and Social Media Networks
 I decided to look into Dr. Christian Scharfenberger, the primary author of "Salient Region Detection Using Self-Guided Statistical Non-Redundancy in Natural Images." Well actually, I looking into various authors and he was the only one I could find anything on.

I was only able to located a LinkedIn account. However, that LinkedIn account does have a lot of information. I found out that he currently resides in Canada at the University of Waterloo, but is from Germany. He is also a project manager at Continental AG. I also found out about his other works.

2. Social Media Presence
Dr. Christian Scharfenberger had no other presence on social media besides LinkedIn. His LinkedIn, however, looks well maintained. It talks about his current job, previous jobs, education, and his interests.

3. Persona on Social Media vs Persona in the Pages of the Academic Journal
There is not too much to work with, but from what I can see, the persona is pretty much the same.  His LinkedIn profile is pretty much as technical as his publications.

Furthermore, the interests listed in his LinkedIn profile match up with the his publication. His main interest lie in using image processing techniques for various applications. His publication essentially discusses improvements in image detection.
