I am a Ph.D. student in the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University, and Electronics Engineer at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory.  Advised by Zachary Lipton, I work on reinforcement learning.  Before joining CMU, I obtained a Master's and a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering at West Virginia University, where I worked with Roy Nutter and Katerina Goseva-Popstojanova to apply machine learning in computer security domains.  My research interests lie in reinforcement learning, artificial intelligence, and meta-learning.
