Research That Interests Me

I'm interested in distributed systems, networks, information theory, operating systems and embedded development. As a whole, I'm fascinated by computer science, especially the theoretical aspects. Projects that I've worked on vary from automated music information retrieval and digital signal processing to building interpreters and working on Java virtual machines. I've also recently become interested in applying machine learning techniques to systems problems.
