Research

My Ph.D. in Computer Science is from the University of Washington. My advisors were Oren Etzioni and Alon Halevy.

I have been at USNA since 2005, as a tenured Associate Professor since 2010. During 2011-12, I had a great year visiting the Distributed Information Systems Laboratory of Prof. Karl Aberer in Lausanne, Switzerland. It's not often up to date, but you can check out my CV.
