Note: Currently Under Construction

I received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the University of Utah's School of Computing in 2008 (for more details, see my CV). My main research interests include Artificial Intelligence, Agent Based Reinforcement Learning, and Animal psychology. I've been working under Dr. Hal Daumé III.

One research proposal of mine can be found here.

Selected Lectures I've Given:

• The PCP Theorem An introduction to the PCP Theorem, and its connection to hardness of approximation.
• Algebraic Fingerprinting - Fingerprinting and Freivald's technique for matrix, univariate polynomial, and multivariate polynomial multiplication verification.
• Expanders - Using Expander Graphs to generate pseudo-random bits. For supplemental examples of the Margulis Construction, see 4x4, 6x6, and 10x10.
