Welcome to the webpage of James M. Hughes.

I am a third-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at Dartmouth College.

I received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Kalamazoo College.

My advisor is Dan Rockmore.   I also work closely with Dan Graham.

Here's a copy of my CV.

I'm currently in the process of creating a new webpage, so I apologize for how dreadful this one is.

If you need to get in touch with me, I can be reached...
