About Me
By now you should realize that my name is Alex Beutel - I am a third year Ph.D. student in computer science at Carnegie Mellon University, and I research large scale network behavior analysis with Professor Christos Faloutsos and Professor Alex Smola, among many others.
Before being a graduate student, I studied computer science and physics at Duke University. At Duke I researched computational geometry with Professor Pankaj Agarwal and Thomas Mølhave, ran the Duke Schedulator, and was the Director of Online Development for The Chronicle.
If you would like a more full view of what I think about in the shower, check out my research or my blog.
