McGill/Dongting Yu

From 2007.igem.org

I am in my final year of B.Sc., major in computer science. I also hope to get into grad school so I don't have to start working just yet. My areas of interest include cryptography, database systems, and operating systems (though I don't know too deep about it). For those interesting in knowing, I am mostly a C person but have recently started learning C++ to see if it's any good. I also know php but I know I really should convert to python. I am also hoping to pick up a copy of Leopard while passing by New Hampshire to take advantage of the lack of sales tax.

Just so that I don't sound like a hopeless comp sci geek I also swim, play badminton and piano when I have the chance to. I mostly do breaststroke and freestyle, though I hope I could improve my butterfly. For badminton... I hold the racket with my right hand.. For piano, I don't play as much as I'd like these years due to lack of time and access to piano, but I still enjoy listening to classical music (pretty much the only kind I listen to) especially those composed by post romantic russian composers such as Rachmaninov and Prokofiev. I also like piano and violin concertos a lot. My favourite pieces would be the intersection of the previous two sets.
