About

As of Fall '06 I am a Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department at Stanford.

In the past I have worked as a programmer for a Dutch software company on the Blender 3D package, written experiments for the Kubovy psychology lab, amused myself by studying computer science in Christchurch, New Zealand, and studied mathematics at the University of Virginia.

I ride a Donek Incline 155 (and love it), which replaced my ancient Morrow Spoon 156. I also a big fan of a good dance party. Nowadays I tend to spend a significant part of my spare time trying to leave the earth behind.

I am not a superhero.
