CV (pdf)
I am currently in the Computer Science PhD Program at the University of Maryland. My advisor is David Mount. My current research is in the overlap of kinetic data structures and robust statistics. I am also working on a project with Jeff Foster on tracking type qualifiers dynamically. I am an AT&T Labs Fellowship recipient. My mentor at AT&T is Aaron Archer and I am working with him on an implementation of Jain's algorithm for the survivable network design problem.

Interests

Aside from Computer Science, I have an interest in Education, especially as it pertains to women in the sciences and other issues in diversity. I also enjoy African and Afro-Cuban percussion and Balinese gamelan (the picture to the right).
