I am a postdoctoral scholar at Caltech. I am a member of the Paradise Lab, working with Professor Shuki Bruck.

Before coming to Caltech, I was a grad student in the Bren School of Information and Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine. I received my M.S. (2003) and Ph.D. (2007) in Information and Computer Science, working with Professor Rina Dechter.

My undergrad studies were at the University of Bucharest, in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science.

I enjoy the game of Go. I was a professional player student (insei) at the Japanese Professional Go Association (Nihon Ki-in). I was the European Go Champion in 1998.

I was on the Senior Program Committee of IJCAI-09.
