About Me

Welcome to my web page!.

I am a PhD student in the Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. I am a member of Machine Learning Research Group and my research advisor is Prof. Ray Mooney.

Research

My main research interests are in the areas of machine learning and data mining. I am currently working on statistical relational learning. I am also interested in natural language processing and bioinformatics.

In the past, I have also worked with Prof. Tandy Warnow and Prof. Randy Linder on problems in computational biology - multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic estimation.
