Alexandr Andoni
Hi! Welcome to my homepage. That's how I look like (sometimes at least):
(see also a more recent image of me)
Info about me:
I am a PhD student working with Prof. Piotr Indyk. My research
interests include: high-dimensional computational geometry, metric
embeddings, sublinear algorithms, streaming, algorithms for massive
data sets, theoretical machine learning.
My CV is available here [
.ps,
.pdf
]. It might be outdated.
LSH:
I maintain a page on LSH (Locality-Sensitive
Hashing). LSH is a very practical algorithm for approximate near
neighbor problem (in high dimensions).
6.046 (Fall'07):
I was a TA for Introduction to
Algorithms (6.046).
Other (i.e., random stuff):
ACM ICPC: I used to be one of the coaches for the MIT's team for ACM International Collegiate Programming
Contest.
AntiChess: Play my AntiChess
;) (a class project (6.170), jointly with Cristian Cadar and Tudor
Leu). Unfortunately, the rendering might be suboptimal (different
browsers tend to diplay the board sligthly differently). If you
find 3min too little, you can change the time in the menus
('Options->Change player options').
A paranthesis: the next sentence will hopefully
help Google better index my webpage. Alternative spellings of my
name are: Alexandru Andoni (in Romanian, my normal name, although not
the official one due to some hard-to-explain bureaucracy), Alexander
Andoni ("anglified" version), and Alex Andoni (simplified version :).
