I am a software engineer at Google in Munich. I have a Ph. D. in Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization through the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University. Before that I got a master's degree in math from the the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, and I also have a bachelor's degree in math and computer science, with minors in Czech and physics, also from Nebraska. I am an alum of the J. D. Edwards Honors Program, which is now called the Jeffrey S. Raikes School of Computer Science and Management.
I spend quite a bit of time editing Wikipedia. My username over there is Bkell.
The most beautiful word I know in any language is pšenice, the Czech word for wheat.
