My office is in 336 WVH. My High Performance Computing Lab is in 370 WVH.

Next, some random pointers of interest to me.

• Khoury College of Computer Sciences (including Campus map (or alt) (We are West Village H (WV-H); Scroll to top of web page, and type "West Village H" and <return> in search bar, and then zoom out to see neighboring streets/buildings.) snow days posted here, research, (and summer), Employee Hub: me.northeastern.edu (NOT me.neu.edu; not allowed) (REPLACES MYNEU.NEU.EDU; (Go to "Resources" for Banner) (for benefits, go to workday, and then left menu (e.g., benefits) to discover your benefits; and then go back to "Employee Hub" and search for that plan; or alt) (and then go to Resources)), (to find out your class roster, login to me.northeastern.edu, so it knows who you are; then go to "Banner Self-Service (SSB)". Then expand the "Faculty" menu. Then select "Class List". Then go to the "Subject heading" (not "Course Title" and not "CRN"). Then select the "Subject" (CS courseNumber,SectionNumber)". This will go to the course roster, which Banner is calling "Class List". Then click on the box to the lef of "Student Name" to select all student names. Then click on the envelope icon to the left of the "Summary View" menu. It will now bring you to a mailer, and that mailer will have filled in the studnets' email addresses under "To:".). DO NOT SEND, SINCE THIS VIOLATES STUDENT PRIVACY. COPY THE EMAIL ADDRESSES TO "Bcc".

In the early days of the Web, it was popular to set up some web pages that would index all of human knowledge. Here is the trichotomy that I chose for my own index. You are welcome to look more deeply into this tree of knowledge.
