I am a PhD student in the department of computer science at the University of Maryland, where I am currently a Teaching Assistant for CMSC 132: Object Oriented Programming II - Java. I have a BS from the University of Texas and an MS from the University of Houston. I spent several years in industry before returning to school.

My research interests are: artificial intelligence, game theory, machine learning, evolutionary computation, and especially multi-agent systems. My Master's thesis was on an analysis of the Traveler's Dilemma, a game which defies the norms of classical game theoretic solutions (e.g. Nash Equilibria-based strategies).
