I specialize in machine learning and artificial intelligence. I am currently focused on applying deep learning (artificial neural networks) to problems in spatial and relational reasoning.

Taught the undergraduate honors artificial intelligence class. We covered search, game trees, Bayesian inference, reinforcement learning, neural networks, particle filters, hidden Markov models, Bayesian networks, and planning.

My research focused on using machine learning to help users specify privacy and other policies. Led a team in the maintenance and development of Locaccino, a social network for location tracking. Locaccino runs on a user's smartphone and allows a user to broadcast his or her location subject to privacy constraints. I mentored students and performed research on using machine learning to help user's specify privacy policies for Locaccino. Was also a member of the Cylab Usable Privacy and Security Laboratory (CUPS).

Worked on multiple large projects at multinational corporations to convert legacy data processing systems to SAP (an enterprise resource planning program). Acted as team lead to configure SAP in accordance with local business processes. Designed and coded programs to facilitate new processes.

Maintained a code base for a large banking system. Worked as a developer on a team that converted a legacy data processing system to the enterprise resource planning system SAP for a global telecommunications company.
