About me

I am a senior at the University of Texas at Dallas pursuing bachelor's degrees in Computer Science and Mathematical Sciences. My primary interests are theoretical computer science (e.g., programming languages, finita automata) and computer security (e.g., cryptography, writing secure software).

I am also a user and supporter of Free Software. I have contributed minor patches to several open source projects and organized a Linux Users Group at UTD to promote Free Software on campus.

News

• 2007.4.3. Final ICPC results are in: we placed 15th (no tie). We would have placed 6th or 7th if we had not all forgotten Pick's theorem. :-(
• 2007.3.15. Our team solved five of ten problems at the 2007 ACM ICPC world finals, tying us for 14th place out of 88 teams and placing us 3rd among teams from the US.
• 2006.12.11. Last night the LUG held an end-of-semester LAN party in the ECS Open Lab. We had about a dozen people show up and had a good time playing bzflag and Tremulous. The network setup was a bit shoddy, but it worked without too much trouble. Hopefully, we can improve for next semester.
• 2006.11.5. Our team placed first at the 2006 ACM South Central USA Regional Programming Contest. We will represent UTD at the world finals at Tokyo in March 2007.
