I am a 4th  year PhD student in the <a href="http://cs.uiuc.edu">Department of Computer Science</a> at
the <a href="http://www.uiuc.edu">University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign</a>.
I work in Artificial Intelligence, specifically Reinforcement Learning and Knowledge Representation. My advisor is <a href="http://magma.cs.uiuc.edu/eyal/">Eyal Amir</a>.

A picture of my <a href="group.jpg">research group</a>.And <a href="pics">here</a> are some more pics.
</p>
<p>
And my <a href="http://ai-complete.blogspot.com">AI blog</a>.</p>
<p>
That's pretty much all there is.
