I'm a fourth-year Ph.D. student in computer science at UC Berkeley, researching computer vision and machine learning advised by Trevor Darrell.

I graduated from UT Austin in May 2011 with a B.S. in Computer Science, completing a Turing Scholars degree with an honors thesis (December 2010) supervised by Kristen Grauman.
