Background

I am now a researcher at Microsoft Research in Redmond, WA working in the Knowledge Tools group, led by John Platt.  Until September 2002, I was a graduate student in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at MIT, working with Professor Alex (Sandy) Pentland at the Media Lab.  My research is focused on developing machine learning methods for understanding patterns in complex data, in domains from human conversations to source code.   I also am involved with the University of Washington, and co-teach the Markovia seminar on machine learning (cse590mv) there with Tanzeem Choudhury.
