    Stupid things I do

    Spring 2014:
    • Currently teaching Honors Discrete Math for CS

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

    Things currently keeping me (very) busy:
    • Working with the Advance team as the Advance Professor of Computing to promote the status of women on the faculty at Georgia Tech.
    • Editing a special issue of Transactions on Algorithms based on invited papers from SODA 2011.
    • Board of Governors of the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA).
    • Associate editor for the SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (SIDMA).

    Current and former PhD students:
