About Me
I am currently on the job market. I am interested in positions with a strong research focus in a collaborative environment. Feel free to contact me with questions!
I will be spending the summer of 2016 as a technical intern with the CASC group at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
I am a PhD student of Computer Science at UCSD. My research focus is in applying graph algorithms with strong theoretical foundations to problems for large-scale networks that occur in real world applications. In particular, I am interested in designing algorithms for garnering local and global information from massive graphs with considerable memory constraints. I am advised by Fan Chung Graham.
I occasionally contribute to the ACM student blog, XRDS, focusing on ideas and results in theoretical computer science. A complete archive of my posts can be found here.
When I'm not thinking about graphs (and even sometimes when I am), I may be found on the dance floor. I'm happiest when the music is Lindy Hop friendly.
