General Info
I was born in the northern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, but decided to go to Duke for undergraduate work. I graduated in 2004 with a B.S. in Mathematics and a B.A. in Computer Science. In the fall of 2004 I joined the AI group in the Computer Science and Engineering department at UCSD. I'm currently a 4th year PhD student being advised by Professor Yoav Freund. My research interests primarily involve applying machine learning technqiues to the fields of network tomography, microphone arrays, and manifold learning. In my spare time I love to spark up a game of no limit texas hold 'em.
Research Projects
