This page contains links to several research papers and projects, as well as numerous media clips and articles related to speedcubing (i.e. speed-solving Rubik's Cube). A more detailed page dedicated to speedcubing is here.

From 2004 to 2007, I taught high school math at Enka High School in Candler, NC. I am currently enrolled in the Computer Science Ph.D. program at the University of Colorado in Boulder.

Research interests:

• artificial intelligence
• machine learning
• computational neuroscience
• robotics

My speecubing statistics:

• Fastest single time (lucky): 8.62 seconds
• Fastest single time (non-lucky): 10.26 seconds
• Fastest average of 10 consecutive solves: 13.75 seconds
• Fastest official single time: 11.93 seconds

To the right is a video of me solving a randomly scrambled cube in 12.79 seconds.
