I am currently a third year graduate student in the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). My research interests are in statistical machine learning, fast parallel and distributed learning, sensor networks, and designing algorithms that learn and adapt to changing environments. Currently I am working with Carlos Guestrin on fast parallel inference in large graphical models on multicore and cluster architectures.

My goal is not simply to connect people and information, but to enable all people to interpret, understand, and react appropriately to their world. Companies like Google promise to bring the world's information to its individuals. Aspiring new technologies, like sensor networks, promise to monitor our physical world. What will we do with this information? How will we understand what it is saying? How will we respond? These are the questions that motivate me.
