Currently I do research under the supervision of Milos Hauskrecht.
Making webpages is a chore, so be patient as new information arrives.
This page is currently undergoing changes. Check back soon for updates.
Teaching
I previously instructed a recitation for CS0007 (Spring 2005)
Click here to go to a list of (hopefully) helpful material that I created for your use after running the recitations.

Hobbies
Have you seen my 1986 Pontiac Fiero GT?.
It was stolen sometime in November, 2007. If you see it lying around on the street (I doubt it would go very far), please contact me.
