about me

I'm a fourth-year graduate student in Computer Science, hoping to get a PhD one of these years.

I am a member of Fil Menczer's NaN group, currently studying the topology of the Web. I am also a member of the Phishing Research group. I do occasional consulting work for RavenWhite.

I have a habit of trying to work on umpteen projects at the same time which keeps things interesting.

Every now and then I get bored and post something in my blog.

I have another site, treespider.net, on which I maintain a wiki documenting some code I've written.

I also have a resume and a cv. These are updated semi-occasionally.
