INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE 2011:
2005:
Summer Intern, Ikomed Technologies, Inc. Vancouver, BC, Canada. Researched and tested computer vision systems for a new Xray technology. Created an interface for physicians to demarcate regions of interest to surgeons in recorded surgical Xray videos, prototyped a computer vision algorithm, and wrote automated tests for the computer vision system. Summer Intern, Sierra Wireless, Inc. Richmond, BC, Canada. Integrated version control software with the company’s bug tracking database. Wrote scripts such that references to a bug in a version control commit message cause the commit log to be copied to referenced bug’s profile. INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE 2009:
Princeton in Beijing Summer Program. Beijing, China. Participated in an intensive Mandarin Chinese program for two months at nd
Beijing Normal University. Won 2
prize in the Chinese speech competition. Speech link:

SOFTWARE Spearmint http://github.com/HIPS/Spearmint/ Spearmint optimizes expensive blackbox functions using Bayesian optimization. The unknown function is modeled using a Gaussian Process and the Expected Improvement acquisition function is used to select the next evaluation location. I was one of the main developers for Spearmint, which is written in Python and contains about 30,000 lines of code. Embryo Development Geometry Explorer (EDGE) https://github.com/mgelbart/embryodevelopmentgeometryexplorer EDGE analyzes microscopy images of developing embryos by extracting cell boundaries from these images and then building 3D models of cell geometries as they evolve over time. It also provides a GUI for cell visualization and manual image segmentation. I wrote EDGE in a combination of Matlab and Java; it contains about 10,000 lines of code.
