Until recently, I was a post-doc working with Prof. Leslie Kaelbling at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. I'm currently taking a bit of time off before starting a job at Google in September. I'll be working with the Search Quality group in Mountain View, CA.

I do research in artificial intelligence (AI). My long-term goal is to understand how anything made of unintelligent parts could possibly be as smart as a human being (or even a lab rat). More specifically, I work on probabilistic inference and machine learning. My dissertation research was on a probabilistic modeling language called Bayesian Logic, or BLOG. A prototype version of the BLOG Inference Engine is available.
