       I'm a fourth year PhD student in the Department of Computer & Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania. I received my Bachelor's degree in CS at York University in Toronto, ON.

I'm a member of the database group at Penn. My broad interests generally lie in data integration techniques in various settings. More specifically, I've been working on systems that interactively learn queries and answers based on user feedback. In the past, I did a bit of work on distributed stream projects.  

My advisor is Zack Ives.
