I'm a first year PhD student in the EECS Department at the University of California, Berkeley. I work with the LoCal research group. My advisor is Randy Katz. I am supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. My research interests are in the area of systems and networking with a particular focus on energy-related issues. Please email me if you would like a copy of my curriculum vitae.

TEACHING
I was a TA for three semesters as an undergraduate student at the University of Virginia. These are the classes I was involved with:
- Fall 2008: CS 202, Discrete Math (taught by John Knight)
- Spring 2008: CS 101, Introduction to Computer Science (taught by Jim Cohoon)
- Fall 2007: CS 101, Introduction to Computer Science (taught by Kevin Sullivan)

This page was tested on Chrome, Opera, Firefox, and Safari. It is bound to look strange when viewing it via IE*
Some things I like a lot besides computer science are This American Life and reading books in bed. When I have free time I like to explore California and the San Francisco Bay area in particular. Kevin Starr has written several excellent books about California that I highly recommend.
I'm on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google Blogger.
