Welcome to Zeno's Personal Home PageWho am I
Here
you can find me, or can you? (Hint: Mike Wolf,
my thesis advisor, is all smiling in this picture. and I, did not wear a hat this time.)I attended University of Science and Technology of China. For graduate school, I went to Rice University, and was awarded a Ph.D. in Mathematics in 2003. I spent a year at University of Oklahoma where I was a visiting assistant professor in Math Dept. I was an assistant professor (post-doctoral) at Math department of the University of Michigan, 2004-2007. I was on a research fellowship at MSRI MSRI, Berkeley, during fall 2007 semester. I am now an assistant professor at CUNY-Staten Island since Jan. 2008. Fun
I am a driving machine. I read
Agatha Christie and
Isaac Asimov. Geeks to rescue. I don't spend time working out
Killer Sudoku, but I have been a human calculator for Wendy,
who works on those puzzles (level: Mind Bending) tirelessly. Read more ONION! and best thing to read since the invention of internet:
Wikipedia! FORGET LIFE, PLAY SNOOD! (retired from playing since 2003) Sports
How about them Houston Astros? Battled back from 15 under .500. I follow Houston Rockets. I stopped watching the Houston Texans. Support Rice Owls baseball! I follow college football, especially the Michigan Wolverines. and the Oklahoma Sooners, I play indoor competitive badminton (the evilminton), and now more playing time for squash!
Food and such
We enjoy all types of food. 1. Goode Company BBQ (Texas style
BBQ to die for, disserts are also VERY yammy! @5109 Kirby Dr.); 2. Best Turkish place Istanbul Grill
(inside Rice village, cheap too!); 3. Try Dim-Sum at Canton Seafood Restaurant @ 2649 Richmond St., included in this
Houston Asian Restaurants guide; 4. One of the best Brazilian places in town: Churrascos (@ 2055 Westheimer Rd.);
5. The name might sound like a joke, but Texadelphia's cheese steak
sandwishes are tasty, with a TexMex flavor; 6. Of course, there are numerous Mexican places just AWESOME!
Some of my favorites: Chuy's @ 2706 Westheimer Rd., Escalante's @ 590 Meyerland Plaza and
Pappasito's @ 6445 Richmond. 1. I always appreciate a good burger (best burger in town) at Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger @ Packard and S. Division; (stack the patties up!) 2. Bomber's breakfest is not for the faint hearts. 3. Good sandwishes (cheap too!) at Potbelly @ State and Liberty; 4. I love Indian food. There are several in town, how about Shalimar?
