    Stupid things I do

    Spring 2014:
    • Currently teaching Markov Chain Monte Carlo

    Research interests:
    • Randomized algorithms
    • Markov chain Monte Carlo
    • Computational problems from statistical physics
    • Combinatorics

    Things currently keeping me (very) busy:
    • Director of the Algorithms and Randomness Center.
    • Working with the Advance team as the Advance Professor of Computing to promote the status of women on the faculty at Georgia Tech.
