ABOUT ME Hmmm... terrible this thing of writing about yourself... Once upon a time, I was a nice sociable guy, used to go out, play in lots of bands and stuff... But right now, I am basically doing research and working my way to get admitted as a PhD on some very nice American universities... I spend 40% of the time working on research, 20% studying cool stuff, 20% studying for the GRE and the rest 30% of the time thinking about life... [Mental note: more study on percentages and such] PHILOSOPHY Hmmm... too much to cramp in this tiny box... But I'd say my current motto is 'Work hard, play hard'!
Interested in Basketball
Interested in Boxing
Fluent in Portuguese
Learning English
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Unfortunately never through CS, but I've stayed at some friends' couches in Boston and Pittsburgh.
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: Romantic teen movies (40 days and 40 nights, 10 things I hate about you, Boys and girls, 100 girls), 80's nerd movies (Real genius, War games...), Michael Moore Docs., travel movies (Road trip, Eurotrip...) Music: Rock, Country, Blues, Jazz, Classical, Thrash-metal, Prog, Grunge, Pop, chicks singing... I have to highlight The Beatles, Soundgarden, STP, Close to the edge (Yes), E. Clapton. Books: unfortunately I spend most of my time reading technical books, most math related, so on my spare time I just do something else. But I'm into SciFi, bios and books about crazy (literally) characters...
My Interests
Almost everything! Seriously... thanks to Google I'm always searching for stuff that I don't know. But I'd say that my main interests are music and mathematics/TCS. And of course traveling... Oh, and skiing... and watching cool series on TV... and playing basketball and (american) football...
