My name is Yudi Xue and am a second year M.Sc student in Computer Science at University of Saskatchewan in Canada. I am currently affiliated with the Interaction lab, at which we focus on research in the field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI), Affective Gaming and Computer Supported Collaborative Workspace (CSCW).
The goal of my master's thesis is to investigate, build and evaluate a software system for collaborative simulation modeling. This led me to research in designing workspace for scientific collaboration, and integrating graph-based data visualization into the workspace. As part of my thesis project, I have also designed and implemented a component- based desktop system which has applied several J2EE server technologies including transactional management and pooled database connection. My knowledge in relevant area may become useful in building and optimizing visualization toolkit in the Gephi project.
Aside from work, I stay active snowboarding and playing basketball. I also enjoy traveling and backpacking during holidays.
I am eager to contribute to the Gephi project as a GSoC student in the summer. I would be happy to be engaged as a full-time participator and to discuss further detail in how I can accomplish this.
Regards,
Yudi

Welcome to Gephi GSoC program! I hope you're motivated to work on cutting edge technology for Network Science and graph visualization. Last year was really hard for us to select the best of you for only 4 slots allowed by Google. Hence to help us identifying you as a valuable candidate, please present yourself on this thread, then fill in this questionnaire and return it by email in plain text to gsoc@gephi.org.
This summer will be hot !
Deadline is April 8 (see the Timeline)
