Fall 2007

Instructor
	Wand, Mitchell I'm the instructor in this class. I got my Ph.D. from MIT in 1973, and I've been at Northeastern since 1985. When I'm not thinking about programming languages, this class, or other CS-related things, I play jazz piano and dote on my twin granddaughters.

Grader
	Koutavas, Vassilis I'm a fifth-year PhD student and I work on programming languages. I like reading literature, playing racquetball, watching movies, swimming, and traveling. Before Boston I lived in Athens (not Georgia).

Students
	Chambers, Ben I'm a first year PhD student in the Programming Languages group. I got my B.Sc in Computer Science from Georgia Tech. I've done some work in abstract interpretation for static analysis, but I'm not sure what direction I actually want to go while I'm at NEU. In my free time I like to read and play keyboard.
	Chaubey, Abhishek I am in my second year. My research is primarily in Algorithms and Networks. I am part of Network Security and Distributed Computing group. Prior to joining NEU, I worked for Oracle and Pine Labs for couple of years back in India. I did my B.Tech. in Computer Science from IIT Guwahati. In my free time I watch Bollywood movies and play racquetball.
	Pfeifer, Laura I'm a second-year phd student working in the HCI lab and am part of the Relational Agents Group. I'm originally from Minnesota and shamelessly refer to soda as pop.
	Turon, Aaron I'm a first year PhD student in the PRL. My undergrad degree is from the University of Chicago, in Computer Science. Outside of CS, I write music (electronica), read novels, watch movies, and sometimes talk philosophy. I am happily married and have two cats.
	Brown, Dan I'm a first-year phd student studying programming languages. I come from Texas, where I lived for a long time and studied computing and math. When I find free time, I like reading, taking pictures, and traveling.
	Sun, Zhifeng I am Zhifeng Sun, a 2nd year Ph.D student in the Networking Group. In general, I am interested in algorithm design, approximation and combinatorics. But I like programming too. I've done quite some work in C++, and I like it very much. That's why I was very excited when I saw both Bjarne Stroustrup and Scott Meyers last summer. Hopefully by the end of this semester, I will have the same feeling about PPL.
	Bashir, Maryam I am a Fulbright scholar from Pakistan. I am a first year PhD student at Northeastern and my research area is Databases. I have done a BS and a MS in Computer Science in Pakistan. Before coming to the US, I was teaching as a lecturer in government universities in Pakistan for 2 and a half yrs. During my free time (which is rare after becoming a PhD student) I like to go shopping, watch movies and sight seeing.
	Zheng, Tianhua I'm Tianhua Zheng, second year Ph.D student from the database group. I'm from the northeast part of China, which is as cold as in Boston. I like tennis and basketball, though I'm not quite good at them:-) Is there anyone wanna be my game partner? just drop in at 472 WVH.
	Javaheri, Hooman I am second year PhD. student in the Networking and Distributed Computing group. I got my B.Sc. in electrical Engineering. My current research is focused on cooperative networks and smart antennas. My extracurricular activities are photography, graphic design and caricature. :)
	Visan, Ana Maria My name is Ana-Maria Visan. I am a 2nd year PhD student from the Systems group. I got my BSc from Politehnica University of Bucharest, Romania.
	Yu, Jia I am a second-year Ph.D. Student. When I am not doing something related to computer science, I like watching movies, reading and traveling. I would like to find more connection between me and the world.
	Slavici, Vlad I am in the Systems group and interested in large space enumeration problems and computational algebra, but I am also interested in other domains of CS, without being actively involved: algorithms, information retrieval, graphic interfaces, human-computer interaction. My hobbies are reading about great mathematicians and mathematical theories, music of the 80s, 90s, indie, Romanian music, pop culture, urban culture - especially in Bucharest, science-fiction and mystery literature, playing and watching tennis, Le Tour de France cycling, snooker, playing ping-pong.
	Bayraktaroglu, Emrah I'm a second year PhD student in the 2nd floor. I'm interested in Wireless Networks for now. I have classical hobbies like reading, watching movies, swimming, soccer...etc And my hometown is Ankara, Turkey.
	Zhou, Feng I am a first year PhD student in the PRL group. Before coming to Northeastern I was working on compilers (mostly on back-end optimizations) in China. I used to use C/C++ and some script languages and I'm new to functional programming.
	Jin, Tao I am 2nd year Ph.D. student in the Networking and Distributed Computing group. I am from Tianjin, China, a coastal city pretty much like Boston. My current research focus is on wireless ad hoc networks. I am also quite interested in information retrieval, haven't got chance to actively work on that though. Oh right, I love coding...I love reading, movie and traveling once I have chance. I am thinking about doing cross US road trip again some day. You are more than welcome to join.
	Duan, Jingjing I'm a second-year PhD student working with Prof. Rajaraman in the Networking group. In my spare time I listen to music, watch movies, and play basketball.
