I am a graduate student in Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Washington University, St Louis. My research advisor is Dr. Sally Goldman. I work in machine learning, content-based image retrieval, multiple-instance learning, semi-supervised learning, recommender systems (collaborative filtering) for a distributed ad-hoc mobile network.

My previous advisor was Dr. Ron Cytron in the Center for Distributed Object Computing. There I worked on a project about memory allocation and relocation for real-time and embedded systems for my masters.
