I'm a Computer Science PhD student at UC Davis. I graduated from Old Dominion University with a BS in geology, went back to school at the University of Washington because I wanted a BS in in computer science, and finished up there with a Masters degree instead. The latter I did while working full-time, and since it was so much fun to do it that way, that's what I'm doing again. I'm working full-time at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, but at least this time, the work roughly parallels the research.

My adviser at UC Davis is Professor S. Felix Wu, and I am currently working on graph algorithms, though I confess that the ones I'm looking at right now are not my own design. My research interests include ontologies, graphs (the mathematical/computer science kind, not the pretty pictures), and machine learning. I am a member of ACM and sometimes I splurge on a AAAI or IEEE membership too.

So, thanks for visiting, drop me a line on one of the bazillion social nets I'm on (I did mention my interest in graphs!) or by email.
