I'm a Ph.D. student in computer science at Carnegie Mellon, advised by Tuomas Sandholm. I'm the lead developer of the US nationwide kidney exchange program, and lead developer of a better way to deal with TV advertisements (currently in the pilot phase with one of the nation's largest MSOs).

I have published in Science magazine and been interviewed by Scientific American. A project to which I contributed was covered by Popular Science, and featured in the journal Nature. Coverage of a book I co-authored on data mining and counter-terrorism appeared in Fast Company. My Erdös number is 3.
