Slightly longer: 2005 - I got on a train from Varna to Sofia (Bulgaria); then a plane: SOF-LGW-ROC; then a shuttle to Brockport, NY.
The people in charge of admissions at SUNY Brockport were nice and covered most of my expenses while I was there. Unfortunately, there is no longer financial support for international students :-(
While at Brockport, I got a B.S. in Computer Science and a B.S. in Math ( with a minor in Physics along the way ).
In my last year there, 2009, I was influenced by a talk Vint Cerf gave at RIT. The Internet of Things was waiting to be invented and built; networked clouds; everyone connected...
I followed up and started a Ph.D. in the ECE department at Cornell University. I learned about communications principles in the Wireless Networks Group, led by Prof. Zygmunt Haas. We have been collaborating on different interdisciplinary projects, designing networks that connect chips, sensors, routers, phones, people, and data centers.
I completed my Ph.D. in Jan. 2015 -- with a thesis on patterns of information flows and relationships across mutually linked entities.
What's next? Attaining new insights based on learning, discovering and designing connectivity patterns in complex systems. These systems may span one or more domains akin (but not limited) to the following:

-
- Technology
- -- Entities: data objects, switches, server farms ...
- -- Relationships: correlations, channels, optics ...
-
- Neuroscience
- -- Entities: sensors, neurons, cortexes ...
- -- Relationships: axons, dendrites, α-, β-, γ-waves ...
-
- Disease spread
- -- Entities: people, places, vaccines ...
- -- Relationships: disease vectors, social links ...
- --[EDIT: 03/2016] I have been a Post-doctoral Researcher for an year now at the Institute for Disease Modeling, Bellevue, WA, modeling malaria transmission over interconnected populations of people and mosquitos.
