About Me

I am a second-year graduate student in Computer Science at UC Berkeley, advised by Dan Klein. I currently work on natural language processing and machine translation in particular, but I'm also interested in a range of topics in statistical machine learning.

I graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in June 2010. During my junior and senior years, I worked with Una-May O'Reilly in the Evolutionary Design and Optimization Group.

Various

When I'm not doing machine learning, I like to play the clarinet. I currently play in the University Wind Ensemble and the University Symphony at Berkeley (click the links for upcoming concerts). If you're ever in Boston, check out the MIT Wind Ensemble!
