Profile
There is always something new and interesting to learn in the field of Computer Science, which is one of the reasons I love it. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering from Kantipur City College in Kathmandu, Nepal, then served as a faculty for a year where I had a good grasp of the needs and challenges in the field of Computer science. With these new dimensions in mind I wanted to revisit computer science topics in depth to continue to broaden my expertise and knowledge. So I joined New Jersey Institute of Technology in the Spring of 2008 as a Ph.D. student.And how is it going so far? I can already see how the Ph.D. Program will allow me to gain new insights in different areas of Computer Science. This knowledge will help me build tools to make the software development process less error prone and produce more robust systems. In addition to everything else, having a Ph.D. degree can also open doors to even higher level positions.
