"Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else." - Leonardo da Vinci

Research Interests:

I am a doctoral student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland. My advisor is Prof. Lise Getoor. I am interested in Machine Learning, Data Mining and Bioinformatics, with a focus in mining high-throughput data using machine learning methods. Specific tasks that I have worked on include link prediction and classification, entity classification and resolution using relational data, and domain specific feature construction. I have also worked on visualizations for entity resolution.
