I am an Electrical and Computer Engineering Ph.D. student at the University of Texas at Austin. I received my Bachelors degree from Brigham Young University in 2004. I am a member of the Intelligent Data Exploration and Analysis Lab, studying under Dr. Joydeep Ghosh. I have had the pleasure to work on the WebCrow project with members of the Information Engineering Department of the University of Siena, as well as the OpenChoice project with members of the School of Information at UT. I am currently working with the UT Department of Psychology in mining blogs to find useful predictors of the achivement of goals.
