I'm a Visiting Assistant Professor at Colgate University

I did my graduate work at the University of Maryland in the Department of Computer Science, where my advisor was Bill Pugh. I earned my PhD in December, 2006.

My dissertation research centered on Marmoset, an automated snapshot, submission and testing system for comptuer science courses. Marmoset provides a couple of features not available to other automated testing systems, including a novel token-based incentive system that rewards students for starting programming assignments early, and an automated snapshot recording system that yields high-quality fine-grained work histories for research. Check out the Marmoset Home Page for more details and a list of publications.

In my spare time, I go to the gym (5 days a week whenever possible), read about economics and anthropology, watch Colbert the Daily Show and PTI on DVR, and host getherings at my house.

I went to Haverford College for my undergrad where I majored in English (and took a bunch of Computer Science courses on the side) and wrote my senior thesis on Derek Walcott's "Omeros".

In college, I ran track . I ran a 4:18 1500 twice, and a 4:19 indoors (there are more turns on an indoor track so it's slower). I don't run much anymore due to injuries and an extra 25 lbs.
