Greetings!

My name is Nicholas Wang (call me Nick), and I'm currently a graduate student at the University of Illinois, advised by Professor Sanjay Patel. I'm enrolled in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and I'm studying computer architecture - in particular, fault tolerant computer architecture.

This is me at the top of Mt. Fuji, summer of 2005.
