Hello.

You've managed to find Kris Kosmatka's little web presence. I'm originally from Philadelphia, home of hoagies and water ices of all kinds. After graduating from UW-Madison as an undergrad in Mathematics, I spent some time working in the nonprofit world, studying architecture, and generally developing a pretty bad case of the traveling bug. After many miles in an old Volvo, I have only three U.S. states left to visit: Hawaii, Alaska, and Kansas. Hawaii... you're on my list. I'm currently a grad student in Computer Sciences back at my alma mater working with Prof. Colin Dewey's lab.
