2013

I am currently a 3rd year graduate student in the Department of Computer Science at Brown University in a combined MS/PhD track.

My research has centered on applying the algorithmic lens (or “computational perspective”) to problems in other scientific disciplines, continuing a theme that began during my undergraduate research with Saint Mike’s professors Jo Ellis-Monaghan and Greta Pangborn.

In addition to my research, as a graduate student I have been a teaching assistant for “Design and Analysis of Algorithms” (roughly equivalent to the Advanced Algorithms course taught at SMC), which I was well prepared for by my experience TAing the intro computer science track as an undergraduate student.
