Background

Hello, my name is Jim and this is my web page. For the first 17 years of my life, I grew up in Smithfield, Rhode Island. I graduated Valedictorian from Smithfield High School in June, 1992. Then I moved on to college at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology , where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (also took many classes in EECS ). Now I am a doctoral student in the Mathematical Sciences Department and a master's student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Johns Hopkins University concentrating in Optimization, Operations Research and Optimal Control.


Hobbies and Interests

At my home in Rhode Island, I have lots of pets, especially my cat, Mouse.

I am a big sports fan. My favorite sports are College Basketball and Major League Baseball, though I also watch Hockey and Football occasionally. Particularly, my favorite college basketball team is the Providence College Friars and my favorite baseball team is  the Boston Redsox.


Academic Interests

My academic interests include: Particularly, I am interested in applying the theory of complementarity from mathematical optimization to problems occuring in engineering and finance.
 


During my last term at MIT, I took a great class: Society of Mind with Marvin Minsky (who is one of the founding fathers of AI).  Here are the papers I wrote for SOM:
