I am currently a Data Scientist at Facebook. I have worked previously at Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft Research, and received my Ph.D. degree in 2006 from the Computer Science Department at Stanford University. My Ph.D. research was in the areas of algorithm design, combinatorial optimization, and internet economics.
