About Me

I am a 3rd-year PhD student working under Dr. Ethan Miller in the SSRC. I work in the space of machine learning methods applied to distributed storage problems.

Publication List

Current Projects

Investigating the cost/benefit ratio of using always-on disks within a MAID-based archival system (Project Page).
Individualized peer-to-peer reputation systems (Project Page)

I also maintain a small set of vim scripts to use with the Ciao programming langauge

Previously, I worked under Dr. Terran Lane in machine learning. My research focused on unsupervised classification of heterogeneous data with hidden variables.

Links

My non-academic interests include reading, choral music, vocal performance, guitar, writing, exploring Santa Cruz, and strategy gaming.

Oh, and the hat is purely cosmetic. I promise.

Old stuff:

Fall 2004, I TA-ed CS152: Programming Fundamentals for CS Majors.
Labs, office hours, and other useful tidbits can be found on the CS152 TA page.
