i'm currently a graduate student in columbia university's physics department
studying applications of machine learning to problems in biological
physics (expected graduation summer 2008). i have a masters in applied physics from columbia
and a bachelors in
electrical engineering from boston university. please see my
resume for more project and background
information.
this site serves several purposes, from presenting and organizing my current
research and
teaching
efforts to publishing code and tips
that i hope others will find useful. eventually i'd like to get some
mac/linux/unix resources and tutorials posted in an organized format so others
can benefit from the vast amount of time i've spent discovering things.
2008.06.24: "a bayesian approach to network modularity" available at physical review letters online
2008.07.04: presenting at mlg 2008 (workshop on mining and learning with graphs)
2008.06.19: "a bayesian approach to network modularity" accepted to physical review letters, to appear
2008.03.18: a scientific american article on my advisor, chris wiggins; also a summary from ams
2008.03.14: coverage of analysis of the 2008 aps march meeting co-authorship network from nature blogs
i'd like to organize this a bit more, but here are my latest geek tips:

2008.07.16 macosx: opendiff uses FileMerge to visualize diff between two files
2008.07.16 python: fcn(*x) explodes elements of x before passing to function fcn; useful for zip(*l) to rearrange list of tuples
2008.07.16 python: zip(l1,l2) returns list of tuples, where each tuple conains i-th element from each argument sequence
2008.07.12 iphone: with iphone 2.0, hold down the home button and press the lock button to take a screenshot
2008.07.11 macosx: to speed up mail.app, try sqlite3 ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index and then vacuum subjects; followed by ctrl-d to quit
for now, see all in the tips file. prettier format coming soon.
