I am a Bachelor of Science undergraduate at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. I am majoring in Cognitive Systems - Computational Intelligence Stream. This is a multi-disciplinary major which combines Computer Science, Psychology, Linguistics and Philosophy. My primary focus is Computer Science.
This summer I am working as a USRA student with the UBC Summarization Group. We are investigating systems to summarize sentiments expressed in blogs and other media.
In the summer of 2008 I worked as a software assistant in the lab of Dr. Michael Tyers in the Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology at the University of Edinburgh. I developed a prototype web-based interface for molecular data-mining.
I currently write for two blogs.
a personal blog which I co-author with my good friend Ben Keller from the University of Calgary.
the blog of the Terry Project, an initiative dedicated to the discussion of interdisciplinary approaches to solving the world's problems.
I pursue several activities beyond my studies.
I have been a member of the UBC Gilbert and Sullivan Society for the past three years and performed in three shows:
I have played rugby for the UBC thirds team since 2007.
