About Me

I'm a 6th year PhD student at U.C. Berkeley. My adviser is Professor Kathy Yelick and I am a member of the Berkeley UPC group. My research interests are in the areas of parallel programming languages and compilers. Prior to this I received my undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, also from Berkeley. I grew up in Taiwan.

Things Outside the CS World

· I play Go (7D AGA and IGS). Here’s one of my recent games.

· I like watching baseball. Favorite team: Braves (blame TBS) and A’s.

· I get my daily music fix from Radio Paradise and Last.fm. Favorite musician: Patty Griffin

· I have an ever-growing Netflix queue. Favorite movie: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

· I am a big fan of Calvin and Hobbes, having learned most of my English from them when I came to the US (thanks for Calvin’s genius-level vocabulary!)

· RIP the Bluth family.
