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.
