Welcome! I'm a 4th year Computer Science PhD student at the University of Texas at Austin. Before coming to Texas, I received a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Georgia Tech in May 2009.

I'm currently working with Peter Stone's Learning Agents Research Group (LARG). I'm working on a multiagent systems problem - we call it ad hoc teamwork - in which teammates must work together to obtain a common goal, but without any prior agreement regarding how to work together. I'm also involved with LARG's Standard Platform group on the Austin Villa Robot Soccer Team, which finished first in the world at Robocup 2012 in Mexico City!

I'm on the Robocup 2013 Standard Platform League Organizing Committee, which will organize the standard platform league competition at Robocup 2013 in Eindhoven, The Netherlands (June 24th, 2013 to June 30th, 2013). I'm also on the GradFest committee, which helps recruit new PhD computer science students to the University of Texas at Austin.
