I got a masters from the department in 2006, and have now come back to
teach. My advisor was
Matt Welsh. This page
has some info on my teaching and research.

Before coming to Harvard, I got my undergraduate degree in
computer science
from Princeton University.
Here are some of the more interesting projects I did at Princeton. Keep in
mind that these were all only one semester projects and the writeups
were done at the last minute, so the writing is kinda poor at times.
- Automated Parallelization of Network Servers. Fall 2002
independent work, advised by Vivek Pai. Final report
here.
- Load and Proximity Aware Request Distribution. Spring
2003 independent work, advised by Vivek Pai. Final report
here.
- An Artificially Intelligent Analogy Solver Spring 2002
independent work, advised by Michael L. Littman. The
RANLP-03 paper above is an extension of this project. Write up here.
- Yet Another System For Algorithm Animation. Fall 2001
independent work, advised by Brian Kernighan. Writeup
here.
- FantasyEngine.
Class project for Brian Kernighan's CS333:
Advanced Programming Techniques in the spring of 2001.
