I am a full professor in the Computer Science Department, Viterbi School of Engineering at USC. I was an assistant professor from 2010 to 2016, and an associate professor from 2016 to 2020. Before joining USC, I was a research staff member at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center from 2006 to 2010. I received my M.S. and Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University. My research interests include machine learning with applications to health, sustainability, and social media.
