hi!

I am the Anchor Point Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Wellesley College. I first joined the department as a lecturer back in 2015, right after receiving my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Boston University.

My broad research interests are in mechanism and algorithm design in dynamic distributed systems, including crowd networks, mobile ad-hoc networks, and transport networks.

"Don't reinvent the wheel, just realign it."

Anthony J. D'Angelo

I like to revive pre-existing solutions from rich fields, such as operations research and distributed algorithms, and investigate their feasibility and effectiveness when implemented within novel dynamic gig-based platforms. Most of the time some realignment is needed.
But that's the fun part!
