                           ( Nathan Taylor )



I am a first year M.Sc. student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. My primary interests involve high performance computing, operating systems, and computer security; additional interests include image-based rendering and other intersections of computer vision and graphics.

The observant reader will note that web design is not my strong suit..

My thesis concerns $INTERESTING_TOPIC as applied to $RELEVANT_FIELD for the purposes of $IMPORTANT_WORK, and I study under @SUPERVISORS. (Stay tuned!)
