Wikipedia is inevitable.

[edit] Objectives

I try to contribute to the Wikipedia Community.

  • All facts are cited, and verifiable by third-party sources
  • Objective and factual information provided.
  • Contributions to (or creation of) articles with which I have first-hand experience.

[edit] School

[edit] North Carolina State University

Bachelor of Science (May 2006):

  • Electrical Engineering
  • Computer Engineering
  • Physics
  • Minor in Mathematics

[edit] Stanford University

Pursuing Ph.D. in electrical engineering at Stanford University (Fall 2006).

[edit] Why?

There is a difference between an education and a diploma:

  • The education builds your knowledge. Wikipedia has a similar process.
  • The diploma is the certification that somebody else has checked your knowledge. Wikipedia has a similar feature.


Another reason I have been contributing to Wikipedia lately is that it hones certain skills which I believe are valuable in academia and industry. These skills are practiced during usual Wikipedia activities:

  • Wikipedia articles are complete, concise summaries of complex topics.
  • Rapid fact-finding is useful while reading and editing articles.
  • Debate and conflict handling with a wide spectrum of opponents (some rational, and some not)
