I am an Associate Professor in the Computer Science department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Prior to joining UNC, I was an Associate Professor at Johns Hopkins University from 2002 to 2008. And before that, I spent three great years as a member of technical staff at Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies.

I’ve been fortunate enough to work with several students. Perspective students should apply directly to our graduate program.

Now on to the important stuff  :-) My twins girls are the joy of my life. In my free time I try to get in as much scuba diving as I can, which sadly only happens about once a year. My wife and I are from St. Lucia, and most of our family lives there (yeah, I know, what are we doing here?). If you are looking for a great get-away spot, drop me an email and I'll be happy to give you suggestions on what to do once you get to St. Lucia.
