Pictures

If you need pictures of me (or if you're cyberstalking me for some reason), here you go.

Here are some photos CMU Futures meeting in 2019. It's a rare case of me wearing a jacket, but I still couldn't bring myself to wear a tie.

Below are some photos from the World Economic Forum 2015 meeting at Dalian, which are free for use under CC-ShareAlike-ByAttribution license. Hmm, I really seem to like blue shirts.

Below are some photos from PopTech 2013, which are free for use under CC-ShareAlike-ByAttribution license.

And here are some other photos from 2013. The first picture is from the CMU Today magazine. The second picture is by Steffen Thalemann.
