Ana Nora (Sovarel) Evans
I will start the graduate program in Mathematics at the University of Virginia in Summer 2009.
In 2006 and 2007 I worked as a research programmer in Dr. James Harrison's research group.
In June 2006, I graduated with a Master in Computer Science degree from University of Virginia.
I was a graduate student in the Computer Science department since Fall 2004.
I have a BS degree in Computer Science from Politehnica University of Bucharest.
My advisor was Prof. Irina Athanasiu.
I had some fun working for Nobel, Avalanche Mobile(One5) and Distinto.

Personal
I am Romanian. Before moving to Virginia, I lived in Bucharest, Romania.
I am trying to learn to swim. I do ballroom dancing from time to time.
I play soccer with the Lazzy Parrots. (pictures from the Spring 2008 season)
In Fall 2008 I lived in Berkeley and in Spring 2009 I lived Seattle. Here is the story of my trip.
