Bio

I am currently a graduate student in the Computer Science Department at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst under the advisement of Professor Brian Levine. I completed my Masters degree at UMass in 2005 and expect to complete my Ph.D. by the fall of 2008. [ resume ]

Research Interests

My primary interest lies in developing algorithms to elucidate properties of networks such as the Internet and DTNs. I try to incorporate techniques from both graph theory and numerical analysis.
