Biography

I am a Product Manager at Google in Mountain View, CA. From 2009 to 2011, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Tufts University.

I completed my Ph.D. (2009) and M.S. (2005) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with Frédo Durand, of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. At MIT, I was a member of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). My undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering (2002) is from the University of Washington.

My research interests include computer graphics, interactive visualization, and human-computer interaction. Please see my recent publications for details.
