Kuan-ming Lin @ Duke Computer Science [Here is a note on my name , given in Chinese.] Education>> Research>> Link>> My note>> Friend

Welcome to Ming's research homepage. Coming from Taiwan in 2004, I am pursuing PhD degree in Duke computer science department. This webpage basically contains my work at Duke. If you're interested in my experiences in Taiwan, please check this site (where I also post a Chinese version).

About me

Documents. Here are my one-page Resume, two-page Resume, and Curriculum Vitae (all in PDF format).
Photos. My photos are scattered among PIXNET, WRETCH, and Picasa.
