I completed my Ph.D. at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University under the supervision of Carlos Guestrin in the Select Lab.

I am interested in formalisms and algorithms for distributed inference and machine learning, with applications to robot mapping and localization, sensor networks, and recommender systems.

In my free time, I go hiking, running, climbing, and snowboarding. I used to go on trips with the Explorers Club of Pittsburgh, and I was a member of the Graduate Student Assembly for a few years.

I have recently started working at Facebook.
