I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Machine Learning Department at CMU and a Microsoft Graduate Research Fellow.  My advisors are Tom Mitchell and Luis von Ahn.  I am interested in research that will further our understanding about how to build effective hybrid human and machine computation systems, both in terms of the design of novel user interfaces and AI/machine learning algorithms.  Here is my curriculum vitae.

I was selected to be one of the Harvard CRCS postdoctoral fellow, starting in September 2012. CRCS stands for Center for Research on Computation and Society, which comprises of faculty from Harvard's Computer Science Department and is affiliated with the Beckman Center for Internet and Society. The fellowship allows me to pursue independent research and collaborate extensively with faculty at Harvard and beyond. My research will continue to focus on hybrid human and machine computation systems, with a special emphasis on citizen science.
