I am currently a second year Ph.D. student in the Computer Science and Engineering Department at UC San Diego, working with Professor Lawrence Saul in the area of machine learning.

My research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning and speech and audio processing, or more generally: computer audition. I'm interested in creating real-time systems that can automatically localize a target sound source, accomplish automatic speech recognition, and much, much more :)
