I am a third year Computer and Information Science undergraduate at The Ohio State University with a minor in psychology. Currently,I work as an undergraduate research assistant in the europa group and as a part-time system administrator for the NOWlab (a network-based computing research laboratory).

Research Interests:
As might be guessed from my psychology minor, my primary area of CIS research is in artificial intelligence. Two projects I did for an advanced AI course (CIS 730) can be found here and here. (WARNING! The java applets on these pages are very CPU-intensive.)
I am also interested in some aspects of formal languages, specifically regular expressions. As such, I am working on bringing regular expresssion support to RESOLVE/C++.
I plan on pursuing an advanced degree (most likely Phd) after my bachelors. However, I have yet to decide whether to enter graduate school directly or spend a few years in the work force. Whatever the case, I wish to pursue a research-oriented career.
Current Projects:
- Regular Expression Support (generalized)
The eventual goal of this project is to provide a RESOLVE component that is capable of regular expression searching and matching over any sequence of items drawn from an arbitrary alphabet. It will no longer be confined to strictly ASCII characters as most available regular expression libraries are, but will rather be able to search over any sequence of components that support the general Is_Equal_To facility.
This project serves a dual purpose both as an academic design standpoint, and as a real test of the concept of increased generality. The finished component could be instantiated with a Character type and then compared to pre-existing, non-generalized, regular expression matching routines.
Completed Projects:
- Regular Expression Support (layered)
The goal of this project was to add support for UNIX-style regular expression text matching to RESOLVE/C++ through the use of an extension to the current Text component.
