+I am a graduate student in the [Department of Computer
+Science](http://cis.upenn.edu) at the [University of
+Pennsylvania](http://upenn.edu).
+There, I am associated with the [Theory Group](http://theory.cis.upenn.edu), the
+[PL Club], and the [Privacy Group](http://privacy.cis.upenn.edu).
+I am very fortunate to be co-advised by [Benjamin
+Pierce](http://cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce) and [Aaron
+Roth](http://cis.upenn.edu/~aaroth).

+## Research Interests ##
+I spend my time thinking about questions in **verification**, **programming
+languages**, and **algorithms**. My work has mostly centered on [differential
+privacy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_privacy), a rigorous
+definition of privacy that is currently under extensive study.
+
+From the verification side, I am interested in using formal methods---such as
+[type systems](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_system) and [program
+logics](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoare_logic))---to verify that programs are
+differentially private. From the algorithms side, I am interested in
+applications of differential privacy to optimization, machine learning, and
+mechanism design.
