Short Bio I am a graduate student in computer science at the University of Waterloo, and a member of the Algorithms and Complexity Group. My research interests include succinct data structures as well as the design and analysis of algorithms. During the Spring term of 2014, I completed an internship with the Cloud Computing Group at Cisco in San Jose, California. I researched and developed a prototype that provides a consistent and automated approach to provisioning both virtual and bare-metal servers in data center networks.

Education In August 2013, I received my Bachelors of Computer Science with a minor in Combinatorics & Optamization from the University of Waterloo, and in April 2016, I received my Masters of Mathematics in Computer Science, also from the University of Waterloo. As of May 2016, I am pursuing my PhD in Computer Science. Some of the courses I have taken include: CS762 - Graph Theoretic Algorithms (Winter 2014) Minimum Weight Independent Dominating Sets in Interval and Circular-Arc Graphs project paper CS860 - Parameterized Algorithms and Reconfiguration Problems (Winter 2014) Kernelizations for Parameterized Counting Problems seminar slides Parameterized Algorithms for the Subgraph Isomorphism Problem project paper CS770 - Numerical Analysis (Fall 2014) CS886 - Applied Machine Learning (Fall 2014) Grayscale Image Colorization Using Machine Learning Techniques project paper CS886 - Theoretical Foundations of Clustering (Spring 2016) Characterizing alpha-Center Stable Clusterings project paper CS758 - Cryptography and Network Security (Spring 2016) Secret Sharing Schemes for Threshold Graphs project paper CS763 - Computational Geometry (Fall 2016) CS840 - Time and Space Efficient Data Structures (Fall 2016) Teaching Assistant Experience I have been a teaching assistant for the following courses.
