My Friends on the Web

Here are links to friends of mine with web pages, in alphabetical order by last name.

Ya-Ting Chang

Ya-Ting was a fellow student of the Ann Schein studio at Peabody. She now plays with her husband Peter Sirotin in the very successful Mendelssohn Piano Trio, for information on which please refer to this link.

Lisa Chau

Lisa is both an interesting artist and a friendly and witty personality; her websites will provide ample evidence of all of this.

Noam Elkies

Noam is a tenured Harvard math professor, and an extraordinarily talented musician and chessplayer. Since our greatest interests intersected so broadly, I was fortunate to get to know Noam well as an undergraduate. Check out his witty and diabolical chess problems and his equally clever and effective musical compositions!

Tom Kang

Tom was one of my roommates from Harvard. He is a true computer whiz (I wouldn't use the term lightly); he always used to help me out of my technical problems. He knows the industry very well, and has worked for Bill Gates. He is also a violinist, and generally a great music enthusiast, owning a large collection of recordings and keeping up with current performers. Nowadays he is in graduate school at Carnegie Mellon.

Jeremy Martin

I met Jeremy first at an interview at Princeton University, but we both wound up at Harvard and were roommates our last three years. Above all we shared a great enthusiasm for the game of chess; certainly his keen competition helped more than anything to improve my own game so much while at Harvard. Jeremy is also very clever in math; being more enthusiastic and able than I am, he is currently attending graduate school in that field at UCSD. He was also the first of the Harvard roommates to be married, in September of 1999, to Jennifer Wagner. They live now in Chicago.

John Stoneham

John was a outstanding student in my music theory class at Peabody. He is an intelligent and enthusiastic musician (a lyric baritone) and a very capable computer scientist!

Victoria Ying

Victoria is a pharmacology student at Cornell and was for a long time the president of the chess club there. The club at Cornell was bustling with activity every weekday at high visibility in Willard Straight Hall. Victoria's page is full of pictures, showing her and her brother and also some of the beautiful sights of Cornell. I played on a team representing Cornell with Victoria and her brother Victor at the Global Youth Tertiary Institutes Chess Challenge 2001, an international intercollegiate tournament in Singapore. (See the picture on my chess homepage.)
