Brief biography

I received my B.A with a double major in Computer Science and Mathematics at New York University in 1992. I am now pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science at Courant Inistitute of Mathematical Sciences.

Here is a copy of my resume. Visit my sister's homepage.


Research Interests

Information Filtering, User Interface, World Wide Web.

My advisor is Professor Dennis Shasha of CIMS NYU. I am currently working on a tool to tailor information flow for readers of complex documents. I have a system developed using the Motif development kit. I also have a rudimentary interface using the Pad++ widget for TCL & Tk. One of the developers of this widget is Ben Bederson

More recently, I have been playing around with Java. If you have a browser that supports the Beta version of Java (e.g. Netscape v 2.0), you check out my demo Java Maze. Very soon, Thinksheet will be accessible via the World Wide Web using a Java interface.
