Update: I am now a Senior Software engineer
at Socrata.
We are revolutionizing open data at such
sites as data.gov.
I am now a research staff member in the
Mathematical Programming group at IBM
Research Watson.
I am currently completing my PhD in Computer Science at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University with advisor Michael Overton. The general area of my research is optimization and computational mathematics. Specifically, my research centers around designing powerful, yet user-friendly, tools for solving real engineering problems. For a detailed description of my research and experience, please see my research page or c.v respectively.
