Research
I am working toward a computer science Ph.D. with a research concentration in artificial intelligence. My research focuses on a theoretical understanding of computational models for human social behavior.
My research interests encompass the following areas:
- Preference handling: metrics, representations, semantics
- Social network analysis: social behavioral modeling, social influence, mathematical epidemiology
- Multi-agent environments: collaborative/cooperative agents, collaborative filtering, game-theoretic models, strategic influence, reasoning about adversaries
- Decision theory: qualitative/quantitative, Markov decision processes
- Semantic Web: logic foundations, representation languages, reasoning over multiple ontologies
I am working under the guidance of Dr. Jon Doyle as my thesis advisor.
I currently work as a Graduate Research Assistant. Prior to this appointment, I worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant for the following courses:
- CSC 565 - Graph Theory
- CSC 295 - Programming of Miniature Autonomous Vehicles
- CSC 246 - Concepts and Facilities of Operating Systems
- CSC 224 - Discrete Mathematics
- CSC 116 - Introduction to Computing - Java
In mathematics, you don't understand things, you just get used to them.
