OTHER SKILLS
[S1] Programming skills: Good control of C, C++, Java, Matlab, Python, and Theano.
[S2] Programming experience: A sizable portion of my research involves programming various nu-merical tools for exploring physical models. Also, during junior high I worked for one year as aprogrammer for a local software company (Megagames).
