Hello, I have been a PhD student in the CSE department at OSU since September 2003. At first I decided to major in AI with a minor in SE, but after three years in the program I realized that my hobby overwhelmed my supposed primary research interests, so I decided to switch major and minor. Previously, I received my BA in Computer Science, Summa Cum Laude, from the American University in Bulgaria. In my spare time I like programming, creative writing, software design, playing soccer, hacking, computer game design and development, and coding. Perhaps you notice a trend.
