Overview
About Me
I am a PhD student in Computer Engineering at UNL. Our department is an Inter Campus, which means half of it is in Omaha, other half in Lincoln. My supervisor is in Omaha. And he PAYS!!! So I am here though I prefer Lincoln as it is more University-city and Omaha is more financial and business center.
I do skiing since I was 5. I was instructing back home. Here, in the U.S, I had the chance and honor to join National Ski Patrollers, NSP. (NSP is a non-profit nation wide organization which is responsible for the safety of those who enjoy skiing.)
I am doing research in a brand new type of communication systems, Molecular Communication which investigates to build a more reliable communication channel in Nano-scale.
I am quite interested in Philosophy and Geo-Politic.
I am a movie addict!
Currently, I live on-campus and there is couch in our hall. I might be able to host up to two persons, preferably one. It's relatively a convenient place because my office is nearby and the location is very accessible.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It is cool! It's really nice to see cool people here!
I like the idea. Simple, friendly and very socializing.
Meeting new friends with different backgrounds and cultures, give you the advantage to have a better understanding of what is going on.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love movies!
I won't miss Eastwood, Nolan, Tarantino, Burton, Scorsese, Coen brotehrs, Ritchie. Obviously I didn't miss Stanley Kubrick!
While my taste not limited to the above, I am a big fan of any super heroes. I am very fond of antiheroes! (A bit darker Batman, Magneto, Bonds, Harry Callahan, etc)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Paragliding!!! It's awesome! believe me! :D
I passed a training course for skiing instructors which held by International Olympic Committee. That was a nice experience.
I did dog-sledding in -20 F,, roughly -29 Centigrade in January, very north of Minnesota. That was superb!
Teach, Learn, Share
If its snowy, definitely skiing is the best option! I can teach you how to pass the moguls, Slalom and G!
I know it sounds boring, but Mathematics! :D
Nowadays, as a part of my scholarship, I need to teach Communication, Signal and Systems and electromagnetic Fields. (Electrical Engineering Courses), though my roommates are young and freshmen and I usually helped them with physics and Math!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Hmmm! Washing dishes!?!
Discussing politics! Doing sport! I don't know! Could be just watching a good movie or drinking a good coffee! It depends!
