I have accepted a position at Williams College. Please refer to my new website.

I was a PhD student in the Brown University Graphics Group working with John Hughes and occasionally in the PLT (Language) Group with Shriram Krishnamurthi.

My recent work is in two areas. At Brown I work on games research: technology applicable to the development of interactive entertainment like computer games. In collaboration with MERL I work on computational videography: using computers to enhance and extend digital video.
