I am a post-doctoral researcher in the Center for Carbon-free Power Integration at the University of Delaware.

My primary research concentration is in Multiagent Systems, more specifically, I am applying multiagent systems to the problem integrating a group of Plug-in Electric Drive Vehicles (EDVs) into the electricity grid - a concept known a Vehicle-to-Grid power or V2G power. For a synopsis of this research, see this link.

My Ph.D. thesis was on the organization on multiagent systems. I was interested in (1) how the agents can use Organizational Self-Design (OSD) to generate organizational structures for themselves that are suited to the underlying task structure and environmental conditions at hand and (2) how the generated organizational structures can be evaluated according to different criteria, such as the coordination cost and robustness.

I have also been involved with the Network Time Protocol (NTP) project and a number of other research projects in Bioinformatics and Natural Language Processing. For more information on my current and previous research, check out my research page.

In my spare time, I like to read, hike, camp, play frisbee and racquet ball, and hang out with friends.
