I am a PhD student at Berkeley in the computer science department. I received my bachelors in Mathematics with minors in Computer Science and Philosophy from Mary Baldwin College in May 2003 and Masters in Mathematics (May 2005) and Computer Science (May 2008) from University of Virginia. While at Virginia, I was an honorary member of the Programming Languages research group.

My research interests lie in theory, more specifically in graph theory, randomized algorithms and learning theory. PDFs of my papers are available at the above link.

In my free time I try to do things that allow me to also learn how to use my camera. You can see my love of inappropriately small f-stops at my flickr page.
