Hi there and welcome to my home page!
Research
I work on just about anything related to algorithms.
Lately, this has mostly been:
- competitive analysis of online algorithms,
- probabilistic algorithms and analysis, and,
- algorithms for problems arising in operating systems, architecture, distributed systems, compilers and just about anything else practical I can get my hands on.
- I've also become very interested in computer graphics lately.
Some papers.
Courses
Fall quarter I'll be teaching CSE 457, Introduction to Computer Graphics.
Fun
Outside of work, espresso and some other fun stuff, my main passion is rock music. I have two distinctions in this domain:
- I am a former member of "an obscure and very bad band of furry Palo Alto geeks" (according to the Rolling Stones Mbone page ) called Severe Tire Damage. STD was the first band to broadcast live over the Internet.
- I single-handedly own all the equipment necessary to have a very loud rock band.
