I am currently a grad student studying Electrical Engineering at UC Berkeley. I did my undergraduate work at UC Santa Barbara. I am advised by David Wessel at the Center for New Music and Audio Technologies (CNMAT) and co-advised by Nelson Morgan at the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI). My research interests include audio signal processing and compression, machine learning, music information retrieval, image processing, computer vision, transform coding, and overcomplete signal representation.

My CV is available upon request.
