Research

My research is in stochastic combinatorial optimization. That being said, I am interested in a wide variety of topics, including computing disease intervention strategies, nuclear smuggler interdiction, algorithm design, game theory, Markov decision process, etc.

I am currently a post-doc in the UT Austin OR/IE program. Most of my current research work is with Dave Morton and Constantine Caramanis.

In May 2008, I graduated from the UT Austin Computer Science department. My advisor is Greg Plaxton. Greg and I still discuss problems together and have some work we are completing.
