I am a Ph.D. student in the Cornell Department of Computer Science. My research mostly focuses on numerical linear algebra and its applications to problems in science and engineering. Most recently, I have been working on applying linear algebraic techniques to the problem of identifying failed power lines in electrical power networks.

Some past projects of mine have included

Developing machine learning techniques for recognizing human acitivites in unstructured environments.
Efficiently computing a rotation-invariant principal component analysis of huge sets of images.
