I work at CATT Lab as a graduate research assitant. The lab is involved in many visualization projects; in particular, we are working with accident and traffic data.

I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and kayaking, snowboarding and sunbathing (we do sunbathe outdoors, right?). I like singing and I have been part of University of Maryland Chorus and University of Maryland Opera Chorus for Eugene Onegin. When I have an hour to spare, I read books, knit, play an old PC game "Pharaoh" and edit this page.

My first name has two variations: "Darya" and "Dasha", it is the same as "Robert" and "Rob".
