Carlos Gomez is a CHISEL-er

I am pleased to announce that Carlos Gomez has arrived in Canada and joined the CHISEL Group. Carlos holds a degree in Systems Engineering from Icesi University in Colombia, and is just starting his Masters program at the University of Victoria.

Carlos loves to cook, paint, play the piano, play guitar, photography and sculpture. He emigrated to Canada with his wife (a graduate student studying with Dr. Hausi Muller and the RIGI Group) and his twelve year old son, José Manuel, who has a strong interest in biology and video games. Recently, José Manuel developed a taste for software development and has been working with Scratch. (Will he join CHISEL in a few years?)

Romil Khanna is a Chisel-er

I am delighted to announce that Romil Khanna has joined Chisel as one of our excellent co-ops. Romil is a 3rd year software engineering student who moved to Victoria in the summer of 2011 from Toronto. He isn’t allowed to move back home until he is finished school and can get his own place. He also doesn’t have a parrot.

Eric Verbeek is a Chisel-er

I am pleased to announce that as of today Eric Verbeek (and his parrot) have joined Chisel. Eric is a software developer with roots in the sciences of both computing and psychology. He has recently migrated to Victoria with his feisty wife and feisty parrot, actualizing their 5 year plan.
