Who am I?
I was a MSc student in Computing Science at the University of Alberta
until, much to the surprise of everyone (especially my supervisor), I
finished my thesis. My thesis was in applied graph theory. Currently I
am a PhD candidate at the University of Toronto, so you'll probably have
more luck finding me in that big city down the road.
I still regularly check my U of A
email, but feel free to surf over to
my Toronto web site to
find updated contact information.
About this page:
This is my academic page I created while a MSc student. It is updated
on an irregular basis. Other web pages I run are linked
below. This page was created and updated exclusively with vi.
Background:
I have a BSc (First Class Honours) in Computing Science from the
University of Alberta (1999).
After determining that I really don't want to do real work (and wanting
to avoid any Y2K work), I decided to stay for my Masters. I was once
very foolish, for I was originally in Honours Math, a greatly superior
program for me (at least it used to be). At some point, for some silly reasons,
I transferred to Computing Science. If you've ever talked to me, you
probably know that I did almost all the requirements for an Honours Math
degree, and perhaps that's where my real passion lies. As a grad student I
took (read sat in on) my last real required course that I would
have needed to get a Math degree (Math 447 - Topology).
Among my extracurricular passions are the
ACM Programming Contest (where we placed 8th in the 2000 world
finals, and 11th in the 1999 world finals),
hacking Linux, cryptography and coding, algebraic computation,
algorithms, graph theory, biking, swimming, soccer, dancing,
and plenty of bridge.
If you're looking for my resume or CV, it's right
here.
I know I said I wouldn't do it... but things change.
Courses:
Well, I'm no longer a student in Alberta, so I'm not taking any
courses any more.
Courses from Winter 2001:
Courses from Fall 2000:
Information about past courses is available here.
Basically I've done many, many math and
computing science courses, and the rest are philosophy, mainly logic.
Yeah, that makes me a well-rounded student.
Work that I've done:
