My research interests include artificial intelligence, sequential decision making under uncertainty, and machine learning. I am also interested in using information and communication technologies for international development, and education and health applications.

Please see a fairly recent cv for more information on me and my work. I did my PhD at MIT and my postdoc at the University of California, Berkeley. At CMU I am also affiliated with the Machine Learning Department.
