introduction
I'm a graduate student at University of California, Berkeley. My
research interests cover the broad area of reasoning under
uncertainty. In particular, I'm interested in highly expressive
languages for Open Universe Probability Models (OUPMs). I'm
currently developing a new compiler,
blogc, for the
BLOG language,
which adds first-order expressive power to Bayes Nets with
potentially infinite variables.
One of the prominent applications of my research include a new
Vertically Integrated Seismic Analysis software for detecting
and localizing seismic events (natural or man-made) for the
purposes of monitoring the Comprehensive Nuclear
Test Ban Treaty (CTBT).
At the same time, I work for Oracle Corp. developing enterprise
database replication software.
