<p>From Fall of 2003 until Spring of 2009, I was a PhD student at Stanford University’s Computer Science department. During 2003/4 I was a research assistant in the Forma Urbis Romae project under the direction of Marc Levoy.</p>

<p>For the remainder of my PhD, I worked on Transactional Coherence and Consistency with Professor Christos Kozyrakis.</p>
