So you might be wondering how I spend my time. At the moment, I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science (specializing in Intelligent Systems) here at Georgia Tech. Charles Isbell is my advisor. Broadly speaking, my interests are machine learning, programming languages, distributed systems and game theory.
In the past I've worked on incorporating adaptivity as a primitive language notion in a programming language (A2BL), an infrastructure for information overlays (Odin), and a domain-specific language for overlay networks (Macedon).
Random downloads: some Matlab code for stochastic search variable selection and some Matlab code for object removal by exemplar-based inpainting.
I was a teaching assistant most recently for an undergraduate course in artificial intelligence (CS3600). Further in the past, I've been a teaching assistant for machine learning, a course on object-oriented systems, and software engineering (twice). As an undergrad, I was also a TA for courses on operating systems, artificial intelligence, and software design and implementation (twice).
