I am currently working as a postdoc with Lee Giles in the Intelligent Information Systems Research Lab. My research focuses on machine learning for text analytics, data mining, and software architecture, particularly in the realm of digital libraries. More generally, I am interested in useful web tools, interesting measurements, automated system administration, and service-oriented software design. My work often relates to the CiteSeer Digital Library, which I maintain, and CiteSeerX, which I recently wrote.

UPDATE: CiteSeerX is now in public alpha!

Perseverance is a principle that should be commendable in those who have judgment to govern it.
Mark Twain
