About Me
I am in my fourth semester of graduate school here at U.C. Berkeley.
I'm currently on track for a Master's degree in electrical engineering,
but I sure would love to start pursuing a Ph.D. My current work has me applying convex optimization
and parameter estimation techniques to news articles and their bag-of-words lexical content.
My advisor in these efforts is Prof. Laurent El Ghaoui.
I have a B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of
Virginia from the spring of 2005, where I completed a design thesis on
blind
modulation detection for digital communication signals.
