I am currently a fourth-year Computer Science PhD student
working with Professor David
Blei at Princeton University. My PhD research interests are in machine learning and statistical models applied to all sorts of datasets.
I will be seeking employment in March 2012, to start around September 2012. I am a pretty big math geek, so I am seeking a position in a fairly quantitative role, although I am open to all possibilities. If you're interested in the skills below and on my resume, please contact me directly. No third-party recruiters please.
