    <p>I started at OCLC Research in 2000, after graduating from <a href="http://case.edu">Case Western Reserve University</a> with a B.S. in Computer Science. During this time I have worked with <a href="godby.xml">Jean Godby</a>, on topics such as automatic classification, topicmaps, and metadata translation.</p>
