About Me ^_^
I have graduated with Ph.D. under the advice of Professor
Peter A. Dinda at the Department of Computer Science, Northwestern University.
I successfully defended on June 14, 2005. My thesis committee consists of Peter
Dinda, Fabian Bustamante, Yan Chen and Ian Foster.
In Chinese, DONG means winter and LU is a great musical instrument in ancient
times.
