Links, for Spring'07
Through most of freshman and sophomore years I worked with Tom Dean on pyramidal bayesian networks and such.
Through much of 2006, I had varied research interests depending on what I was engaged in, I became really interested in algorithmics, specifically algorithms pertaining to auctions and online games.
As of 2007 I am involved in an independent study with Eli Upfal on randomized algorithms, and specifically on refinements to a somewhat online version of the uncapicitated facility location problem. I am also involved in combinatorial optimization research with Meinolf Sellman.
Along with TAing both math and cs courses, I have been a math tutor for the accademic resource center (Fall '04-Spring '05), a help desk consultant (Fall '05-Spring'06), and a summer intern for Bloomberg LP. I am going to be working for EA at their Redwood Shores Studio this summer.
I attended the Park City Math Institute in the Summer of 2005
I previously made a couple of extensions to Pythons NNTP library to support NNTP over SSL since this was beginning to bug me, one of these used PyOpenSSL, and allows actually secure NNTP communication with small amounts of work in Python. At the beginning of this year I was experimenting with installing FreeBSD on an Intel MacMini, and was bugged by an inability to get my Ethernet card to work with 7-Current, and ended up patching the Marvell Yukon/II driver so it would actually work. I was also involved in the cs32 project Raphael, along with Itay Neeman, Lian Garton, and Sarah Eisenstat
