Hi, I’m Nathan! I grew up in Virginia Beach, VA, then moved to Charlottesville, VA for college. I earned my B.A. in Math and Computer Science, my M.C.S. in Computer Science, and my Ph.D. in Computer science all from the University of Virginia (UVA). I remained at UVA as teaching faculty for 6 years before joining UW in autumn 2023. This is my first year teaching in the Allen School. When I’m not teaching I enjoy baking, crocheting, water skiing, and gardening. Please ask me about my cross-country road trip with my spouse (Sarah) and dog (Bucky), how we baked ~1000 cookies in one day in our home kitchen, the relationship between math and crochet, my summer in a fisheries lab, or anything else that’s on your mind!

Hey everyone, my name is Andras and I’m a Sophomore student here at UW. I grew up just 25 minutes north of campus in Bothell, Washington. In my free time I enjoy watching the Seahawks, playing guitar, working out, and listening to Gunna. Really looking forward to meeting all of you!
