Bio

I am a Ph.D. student in the Computer Graphics Group of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab at MIT, where I work with the incomparable Frédo Durand on graphics systems and computer architecture. In my research I have collaborated extensively with Tippett Studio and Industrial Light & Magic, and I am currently working with both ATI/AMD and Intel. Before MIT, I received a B.S. in Computer Science from Stanford University in 2004, where I was fortunate to work with Pat Hanrahan.

Beyond graphics, I maintain an interest in computer architecture and systems in general, as well as philosophy/religious studies. I occasionally moonlight on several projects, largely related to filesystems.
