Jacob Scott

I am a third year graduate student in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, where I am advised by David Karger. I am funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research in the form of a National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship.

I graduated from the University of California at Berkeley, where I studied Computer Science, in May 2005. My undergraduate research advisor was Richard M. Karp.

I now (as of April, 2008) have a personal blog. You may also be interested in my CV: PDF, HTML.
