[edit] More Information
AnHai Doan grew up in a small fishing village in rural North-Central Vietnam. Even at an early age, he already showed an exceptional ability to move west. After high school in Vinh, Nghe An, he moved to Hungary, where he earned a B.S. degree from Kossuth Lajos University in 1993. Next, he landed in Wisconsin, where he drank beer, listened to (too) much jazz and blues, and earned a M.S. from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee in 1996. Then he moved again, this time going as far west as he could, finally ending up in Seattle. There, he switched to coffee (lots of it!), salmon, hiking, and partying. He fell in love, broke up (*), got married, had a baby, founded a global mailing list, had fun working on several research projects, irritated his advisors, published a few papers, and earned a Ph.D. from the University of Washington in 2002. All of his hard-earned degrees are in Computer Science.
P.S. In Fall 2002, he moved east to become a professor at the University of Illinois, Urbana. There, he dilligently spent time writing official bios, such as the one listed above.
P.S.S. (*) In Jan 2004, his boss finally read this, and immediately made him change "broke up, got married" to "broke up, resumed, then got married".
