Story

In high school, I dreamt of becoming a concert pianist for the beauty of music as an abstract form of communication. Later, under immense encouragement from profrssor Wilmes I wandered into math, drawn by its imaginative nature, creativity and purity. I studied music at Brandeis University for a year before transferring to Carnegie Mellon University as a math major. In my undergrad, I dabbled in programming and planned to get a programming job after graduation. Fortunately, in my senior year, professor Crans encouraged me to realize that I still prefer studying math over other career choices. Now I'm a graduate student at University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
