I graduated in Summer of 2002. Recent information can be found on my new web page at Deutsche Telekom Laboratories. Luckily my MIT Media Lab Europe page died with its server. These web pages are sprawling way too much. Still, you may find some more stuff at my web pages I created while at the University of Florida. Check out my UF web-page. At Princeton I worked with Prof. Perry Cook on physical modeling of musical instruments and real world objects. I'm sorry, most of the information here is slowly aging... actually it's pretty much old and old now

"The time has come now, when man must give up war. It is no
longer rational to solve international problems by resorting to
war. Now that an atomic bomb, such as the bombs exploded
at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, can destroy a city, kill all the
people in a city, a small city the size of Minneapolis, say, we
can see that we must now make use of man's powers of
reason, in order to settle disputes between nations.

In accordance with the principles of justice we must develop
international law, strengthen the United Nations, and have
peace in the world from now on." - Albert Einstein
