Who I am and What I do
I'm unemployed! I recently left my job as a research scientist (and
former head of production) at Renaissance Technologies, a hedge fund
management company founded by Jim Simons which manages the Medallion
fund (among others).
I am now living in the Philadelphia suburbs, working from home while I
help raise my three children. I'm spending my non-family time
investing in (mostly technology) companies as an angel investor and
venture capitalist. I'm also involved in a number of local and
national Jewish philanthropic efforts, including Partners In Torah (which
operates Jewpiter for Birthright
alums), In
His Image, The Chevra, and
Jewish day schools in the Philadelphia
area.
Earlier in my academic career, I did research on the statistical
natural language parsing problem, culminating in my thesis, entitled
Natural Language
Processing as Statistical Pattern Recognition. Here's a list of the rest of my publications.
