I am working on MathPapa, an automated math tutoring system.

I am also interested in applying deep learning to NLP.

Bio

I was a computer science PhD student at Stanford, graduating Autumn 2012. My advisor was Jennifer Widom. My main research project was Panda, a system that uses data provenance to help data analysts debug their workflows.

Past Projects

DB-Class Exercises: I developed the checking software and interactive workbenches for all of the automatically checked exercises in Prof. Widom's Fall 2011 public class on databases, now hosted by Coursera.
PyClaycloud was a side project for sharing and rapidly prototyping Python scripts. It runs on Google App Engine.
