I'm a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park. I graduated from the College of Wooster in 2004 with majors in computer science and math and got my M.S. in computer science at Maryland in 2006. In 2004 I won an NPSC Fellowship. As a researcher, I like to think of myself as a software entomologist: I study bugs. My dissertation work with Prof. Atif Memon aims to show how understanding and characterizing software bugs (faults) can help researchers study software testing more scientifically and develop better fault-detection techniques.

Here is my CV.
