Who am I?
I am a Computational Biology PhD. candidate in the Joint Carnegie Mellon-U. of Pittsburgh Ph.D. Program in Pittsburgh.
I work at the Murphy Lab with fluorescent microscopy images. My mission is to find a completely novel way to interpret these by pushing the field in computer vision and machine learning. In general, my research aims to be practical and applied while keeping itself theoretically well-grounded.

Teaching
In Spring 2009, I taught a course called Programming for Scientists which I intended as an intermediate class for working scientists who program with only an introductory course or just having informally picked up a language.
I certainly hope to have an opportunity to teach it again.
Other Interests
I keep a blog, the Mutual Information, where I discuss things from cooking vegetarian to the relationships between anarco-capitalistic atomic communities and multiculturalism.
When given the opportunity, I will run away for a jog in the park.
I have also worked on some open-source software.
