Fun

Greetings. Welcome to my home page. It seems like I am supposed to say something here. Hmmm......OK, I am a Ph.D. student working on computer networking and security research, and...... I am curious about things that I don't know, so I enjoy exploring new research areas. I am curious about places that I don't know, so I enjoy traveling around the world. I am curious about people that I don't know, so I enjoy making new friends. Unfortunately, each of these takes time while time is limited for a person crawling between office and apartment, at a velocity far below c. So, here is my solution: (1) Do good research. (2) Publish on good conferences and travel. (3) Make new friends on conferences. So far, it works quite well. If you attend networking and security conferences and happen to share a similar solution, you are welcomed to drop me a "Hello!" message. :)
