About Me
I graduated from the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University and accepted a position with Google NYC. My PhD adviser was Thorsten Joachims. My research explores how document collections develop -- specifically, by detecting idea flows between documents by looking at which documents influence each other, and by detecting where in documents ideas originate. These (entirely) text-based methods can be used to detect the most influential documents and authors in document collections. Applications exist in many domains of text documents, such as news articles, web pages, research publications, digital libraries, blogs, e-mail, and so on.
