I, 方震, have been a Ph.D student in the School of Computing at the University of Utah since August 1998.

I grew up in Qufu, Shandong, a small town in north China. 曲阜师范大学 is always my home. After high school I was admitted by Fudan University, Shanghai in 1990. The first college year was actually spent at Dalian Military Academy, which was required for all new students of the university. I was at Fudan for the next seven years for B.S. and M.S. degrees.

I then came to the U.S. to continue my education. Got married in 2000 to Xiaojuan Wang (汪小涓). Our lovely daughter Youjia(由佳) was born in May 2001.

In my spare time, I like to play basketball, go to movies, travel around Utah, and listen to a few good old songs again and again.
