I'm an assistant professor in the computer science department at Louisiana State University. I received my PhD in computer science from Yale University. Before joining LSU, I worked for two years in the computer science lab at SRI International.

My research interest is in the broad area of machine learning, data analysis algorithms that deal with massive datasets and the applications of these algorithms and techniques.

In particular, my interest in machine learning focuses on:

• Transfer learning
• Hierarchical Bayesian models
• Kernel methods
• Scalable learning and data analysis algorithms for massive data sets

And my interest in applications focuses on:

• Adaptive and proactive network security through machine learning
