1. Introduction
Fang Wu was born in Beijing, China
on Jan 21, 1980, roughly 15 billion years after the Big
Bang [
2]. Both his parents are
physicists. His brother
Zhao Wu is a computer engineer. He
married
Yun Zhou in 2007, with whom
he has two daughters, Minnie Zhou and Maxie Wu
(yes Minnie > Maxie).
2. The Problem
Fang currently works as a quantitative
researcher at a renowned hedgefund in Chicago. Prior to this job he
held a research scientist position at the
Social Computing Lab of HP.
He periodically enjoys rigorous analytical
reasoning and quick data muddling. His research
interests include social networks, mechanism design,
stochastic modeling, and the
comparative study of western and
Japanese detective fiction. He likes all kinds of
mathematical puzzles and interview brainteasers.
3. The Solution
Fang's scientific publications can
be found in his
CV. Some of his past
Chinese articles caused him endless
trouble but eventually sustained public censorship.
4. Possible Extensions
Fang spends most of his
spare time studying/writing
detective novels, playing badminton,
hacking
Perl/Ruby on one of his
Macs, and/or watching
videos. Before he had kids he occasionally
played his
Nintendo DS
Lite.
5. Conclusion
FANG =
Fang's
A Nerdy
Geek
