About Me

I recently finished my Ph.D. in Theoretical Computer Science in the Department of Computer Science at Princeton University.  Professor Nicholas Pippenger was my advisor. I now live in Tempe (part of the Phoenix metropolitan area), Arizona and am a staff Research Scientist / Programmer for the GeoDa Center at Arizona State University.

Some of my hobbies include: rock climbing (all styles), mountaineering, mountain biking, mountain unicycling, and playing my guitar and recorders. I am always in search of the perfect cup of brewed coffee. So far, the best cup I've tasted was brewed on a Clover machine at Elysian Room in Vancouver, BC.
