My name is Chris Hlady. I have a BS in Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign, an MS in Computer Science from the University of Iowa, and am pursuing a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Iowa.

Curriculum Vitae

Download my CV current as of March 13, 2010.

Personal

I maintain a fairly strong amateur chess engine (Crushinator) that plays on the Internet Chess Club. I occasionally do contract work on the side to help pay for expensive gadgets.

Hobbies

Aside from the usual music, tv, and movies I like to play racquetball, board games, card games, and have been known to read (or listen to) books every once in awhile.

Photography

Photography has also been added to my list of hobbies, but since I care enough about it to actually write about it on here it gets its own section. Many of my pictures are available through my Flickr page. I try to go out for a few hours at least once a week to take pictures around Iowa City with a group of friends. If you're interested in joining us, send me a message at chris at hlady dot net

Weddings

This same group is also interested in shooting weddings for free or cheap in the Iowa City area to gain experience and build a portfolio. If you are interested, please send me an e-mail at chris@pixelatedbytes.com
