About me

I was a Ph.D. Student at Carnegie Mellon University, within the Computer Science Department. My advisor was Prof. Avrim Blum. I am currently a postdoc at Microsoft Research New England, and I will start as an assistant professor at Georgia Tech in summer 2009.

My main research interests are computational and statistical machine learning, computational aspects in economics and game theory, and algorithms. Other interests include mathematical models for signal processing and computer vision. More information is in my resume.

Here are my 2007 research and teaching statements. Here is my PhD thesis: New Theoretical Frameworks for Machine Learning.

I am currently on the Program Committees for FOCS 2009 (Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science) and COLT 2009 (Conference on Learning Theory). I have recently co-organized a NIPS 2008 Workshop on Learning with Data-dependent Concept Spaces.
