I am a Ph.D. student in the Computer Science and Engineering department, studying Artificial Intelligence. My current research focus is the collection (and application) of large knowledge bases via information extraction, machine learning and human computation. My advisor is Oren Etzioni.
Prior to UW, I worked for over three years at Lockheed Martin ATL's AI Lab. I had leadership roles in a R&D project on designing a scalable architecture for integrating stovepiped AI techniques. I also worked on several DARPA contracts (e.g. writing software agents for the Navy).
I earned a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT in June 2004. My Master's Thesis "APOT: Atomic Path Optimizing for Traits" under Professor Hal Abelson and Professor Dick Yue demonstrated an automated teaching algorithm that can effectively tailor presentations to learning styles.
I earned a Bachelor's degrees in Computer Science and Engineering from MIT in 2003. My undergraduate research was in Common Sense Reasoning with Push Singh in Marvin Minsky's group at the MIT Media Lab. The project collected 100k+ commonsense statements from internet volunteers, and I worked on how to reason using this data and how to rapidly collect more data.

I play badminton in my free time. At MIT, I was vice president of the badminton club, played on the intercollegiate badminton team, and was an intramural team captain. I was also on the organizing committee of the Boston Open badminton tournament from 2003-2006. Come play badminton with me at the IMA :)
