I came from Belgrade
, Former
Yugoslavia on a student exchange program in 1987. Since then I graduated
in CS and German from Mills College
in Oakland, California.
For a couple of years I was a worker-bee at Oracle,
which gave me the inspiration to go back to school. I spent a few fine years here at UCSC getting a
PhD in Graphics while working on projects such as
the REINAS
and Slug.
After working a few months in the "real world" I have been persuaded once again that
academia is the way to go. As a result was teaching
Intro to Computer Graphics
last spring, and have taken up a post-doc at UCSC.
I'm the proud momma of
Lea and Nicolas.
Are they cute or what ?
Also, I have a brother who's looking for a job. Here is his resume in english
and german.
If you can read serbian, here is a whole collection of JOKES.
I'd try to translate them, except they're too ethnically-specific for non-balkan
people to understand. Then again, budging to popular demand, here's a few
of them in poor translation.
Dance, dance, dance ! (salsa, and related latin dances in particular)
The things I like to daydream about:
Going home to Belgrade...unless you are from there, you probably wouldn't
understand, so maybe these pictures others collected may help some: postcards
and downloadable
stuff.
