I am a PhD candidate from the Computer Science Department of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. I work with Prof. John C. Hart at the Computer Graphics Group. I passed my Prelim (thesis proposal) on December 10th, 2014, and my expected graduation date is in Spring 2016. Wish I can find a job with both challenges and impacts. Do not want my skills to be wasted :-) Key words of my research: parallel computing, visualization, graphics, data mining, algorithms. My LinkedIn profile is usually out-of-date. Please see mingchengchen.org for my recent status.
