? I am currently working on projects spanning advanced computation, biomedicine, cybersecurity, and Internet technologies—primarily as a founder of Onai. We are proud to have won DARPA contracts and will be publicly launching soon. I'm also an adviser to Collective Health.
Walmart Labs WalmartLabs was formed upon Walmart's acquisition of Kosmix. Among other initiatives, I created and led Get On The Shelf, a contest and web series that helped small businesses and gained positive attention in social and traditional media.
Kosmix I joined Kosmix upon its acquisition of my startup, Cruxlux.
Cruxlux Founded with a friend; we built powerful new technologies related to search, context, and semantic relationships.
Folding@Home At Stanford, I served project management and lead development roles for Folding@Home, a distributed computing project (simulating protein folding and drug binding) that grew into the most powerful in the world.
Stanford University I did my B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. at Stanford University. I also was a Mayfield Fellow there.
I have a variety of interests related to the application of novel computational, biomedical, and chemical technologies to worthwhile challenges.
