About Me

I am a graduate student in the Group in Logic and Methodology of Science at the University of California at Berkeley. The Group in Logic is a cross-departmental program between the Math and Philosophy departments with some membership from the Computer Science department. My undergraduate degree is a B.S. in mathematics from the wonderfully strange California Institute of Technology.

My research interests lie in mathematical logic particularly Recursion Theory. That is I study in some very abstract sense what computers can theoretically calculate. My advisor in this research is Prof. Leo Harrington. You can find more details about my mathematical research and results in the math section of this website.

Schedule

In my continuing quest to waste time with technology I've published my schedule to the web. The first calendar contains my professional schedule while the second includes any time I've marked myself as busy including personal appointments but doesn't reveal any details.
