I am an associate professor in the Computer Science and Engineering Department at Washington University in St. Louis. I also direct the Division of Computational and Data Sciences, a new inter-disciplinary PhD program spanning the Computer Science and Engineering department, the Brown School of Social Work and Public Health, and the Political Science and Psychology and Brain Sciences departments in the College of Arts and Sciences.
Prior to this, I was an assistant professor in the Computer Science Department at New Mexico State University; a research scientist in the Living Analytics Research Center at Singapore Management University; and a post-doctoral research associate with Shlomo Zilberstein in the Computer Science Department at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
I received my Ph.D. and M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Southern California, supervised by Sven Koenig, and my M.S. and B.S.E. in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics from the University of Pennsylvania, supervised by Vijay Kumar.
