I work full time at the IBM T. J. Watson Research center in Hawthorne, New York. Since joining the research division, I have worked on QoS and systems management projects such as policy based systems management, and network virtualization. Currently I'm doing my PhD part-time at Columbia University under the supervision of Professor Shih-Fu Chang. I am studying abnormal human behavior detection from data collected by multimodal sensors.

I started working for Advantis in 1994 which was a subsidiary of IBM and a joint venture with
Sears. I programmed and tested networking cards such as Token Ring, Ethernet, T1, T3 and FDDI. In 1996, Advantis was bought back by IBM and hence renamed to IBM Global Networks (IGN). From 1996 until 1998 I worked on a MPLS project, building an Integrated Switch Router. In 1998, I joined the research division of IBM.

I studied Electrical Engineering and received a Bachelors of Engineering in 1993 from SUNY at Stony Brook and received my masters in Electrical Engineering in 1995 from Columbia University.
