I finished my Ph.D in 2003 at Duke University, Department of Computer Science. Before that, I was at Universitatea Politehnica Bucuresti, Romania and graduated in 1996. My research is in the theory and practice of efficient algorithms for massive data, and in particular terrain processing and applications to Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

In Fall'08 I am teaching 210 (data structures) and 231 (algorithms).
