I earned a B.S. with high distinction and
I earned my first
M.S. degree in computer science from The American
University
in Washington D.C. with a GPA of 3.83 (out of 4) and my second M.S.
degree in applied mathematics from The University of Nebraska at Lincoln with
a GPA of 4.0 (out of 4). I
earned my
Ph.D. (doctorate) also from The University of Nebraska at
Lincoln with a GPA of 3.96
(out of 4).

I taught one semester in a high school (that was before I earned my first
M.S. degree). I was a teaching
assistant for several years at The University of Nebraska at Lincoln.
When I finished my Ph.D.
I became a lecturer in the Department of Computer Science and Computer
Engineering at
The University of Nebraska at Lincoln. I taught there 4 courses in
two semesters (one of the courses is a graduate course in the
mathematical theory of finite automata and computational complexity -
CSCE 935). Then
I moved to SUNY Fredonia in 2001.
The teaching load is 3 classes/semester. But (not counting this semester), I taught an average of 11.33 credits per
semester.

When I was undergraduate, I was on the dean's list several times and
earned two fellowships.
I was offered two M.S. fellowships and a Ph.D. fellowship (but declined
one of the M.S. fellowships and the Ph.D. fellowship). I was also offered
a Ph.D. teaching assistantship which I accepted. While I was working on my
Ph.D. I received two awards and two teaching certificates from The Parents Association and the
Teaching Council at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Family: I have a brother with a Ph.D. in Hydrology (he is in
Germany) and
another brother with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (he is in
Britain).

Computer languages and web stuff I learned:
C++, Octave, Pascal, Java, Fortran 77, Fortran 90, QBASIC, GW BASIC,
Visual Basic, LISP, Prolog,
MODSIM II, HTML, PERL, CGI, JavaScript. In addition to that, I learned
many softwares for math, databases, statistics, typing scientfic stuff,
etc (such as PARADOX, ORACLE, Power Builder, Latex, Maple, Mathematica,
SYSTAT,
etc). But, by the way, I forgot many of those I learned :-)
