CV (2008): (pdf)
I am currently a Research Scientist (a.k.a. "Computer Scientist") at USC ISI.
Previously, I was at MIT CSAIL, where I received my Ph.D. in EECS under the direction of
Leslie Kaelbling.
My research centers on learning in rich multi-agent environments. It draws on
ideas from machine learning, game theory, and cognitive science. Learning
algorithms based on mathematical models for agent behavior, knowledge
representation, and appropriate metrics are important parts of this work. I am
interested in fundamental theory as well as application domains such as
interactive media and mobile ad-hoc networks.
