Computer Science Department School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University |
My advisor is Carlos Guestrin, and I am currently working on new machine learning algorithms for analyzing blogs and online news. I am also a member of the SELECT Lab.
From February 2007 through August 2008, I took a leave of absence from the Ph.D. program in order to spend some time in industry. I spent three months at Google in Manhattan, where I worked on Personalized Search. This was followed by a year at MITRE in McLean, Virginia, where I applied machine learning to national policy problems, primarily working with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the United States Army.
Prior to my leave of absence, I was fortunate to work with Tom Mitchell on human brain image analysis and with Andrew Moore on interpretable classification algorithms.
