Short Bio

I have joined the Department of Computer Science at Texas State University since September 2018. I no longer maintain this website, please see my TxState Website for the latest updates.

I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I was advised by Prof. Jim Anderson in the Real-Time Systems Group.
