I am a Ph.D. Student in Computer Science at Purdue University.
My research focuses on prediction and modeling of large dynamic networks.
My work is supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship and the Purdue Andrews Fellowship. Previously, I was a research assistant at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the Naval Research Laboratory (AI Center), Jet Propulsion Laboratory (NASA), California Institute of Technology, Knowledge Discovery Lab at University of Massachusetts Amherst, New Mexico Tech and Coastal Carolina University.
