I’m a 2nd-year Ph. D. student at NCSU in the Computer Science Department. My primary research interest is natural language processing as applied to intelligent tutoring systems. My goal is a faculty position at a college/university. To this end, I taught CSC116 (introduction to programming with Java) in Summer 2009, and hope to repeat the experience soon.

I am originally from Stony Brook, NY. I completed an A.S. in Computer Science from Suffolk County Community College in May 2006. I transferred to Stony Brook University, where I completed my B.S. in Computer Science in August 2007, and an M.S. in August 2008, just prior to my move to NC.

My campus leadership positions at NCSU include:

• University Graduate Student Association Vice-President for External Affairs (2009-2010)

• Student Senator – Graduate School (2009-2010)

• Computer Science Graduate Student Association at-large committee member (2009-2010)

• STARS Student Leadership Corps (2009-2010) – coordinating a tutoring service for CSC116

• ES King Village Council Administrator (2008-2009)

I can also be spotted at the occasional Linux Users Group Meeting, or NCSU football or basketball game.

Here’s my resume.

Here’s what little of my schedule that can be predicted from week-to-week (actual availability varies greatly):
