T. Francis Chen
T. Francis Chen attended Waterloo Collegiate Institute for high school,
graduated from University of Waterloo with a Bachelor of Computer
Science, graduated again from the University of Waterloo with a Master
in Mathematics, and is trying to graduate one more time.
He is currently a Ph.D. student under the supervision of Prof. Gladimir
Baranoski, working in light interaction with fibrous materials.
He has extracurricular interests in video games, classical music, robots
and airplanes.
