I am a first-year graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin seeking a Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Sciences. I received my B.S. from Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, where I majored in Computer Science, Math and German. I am currently a TA for Theory In Programming Practice, taught by Jayadev Misra.

I am currently doing research under Risto Miikkulainen of the Neural Networks Research Group on the application of Neuroevolution to Multi-player games, specifically 3-player Gomoku and 3-player Pente. I'm also applying Neuroevolution to the game of Othello/Reversi in order to develop entries for the Othello Competition at the IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Games.

I am also a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and am the webmaster for the Student Chapter's Website here at UT.
