Computa-bull

For the week of August 15-19, I stayed in Portland, OR, at the Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront. I went to present four papers: Two with yours truly as the primary author, a third written by Dr. Himanshu Thapliyal, and the fourth written by Saurabh Kotiyal. All papers covered topics on quantum computing and reversible logic. The conference went well, and the last I heard, my paper was voted the best of my session.

While in Portland, in the little spare time I had to spend away from the conference, I visited Multnomah Falls, Mount Hood (and Timberline Lodge), Voodoo Doughnuts, the Rose Garden, Portland Japanese Garden, The International Rose Test Garden, the World Forestry Center, and Powell’s Books.

Ravi Panchumarthy, Matt Morrison, Dr. Bhanja, and Jayita Das also journeyed to Portland for the conference, and I had the pleasure of meeting Portland native Mary Ross, a friend of Matt’s.

We also listened one hundred forty-three times to what evidently has become Portland’s anthem: “Give Me Everything (featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack, & Nayer)” by Pitbull.

We represented USF well, and had a great stay in Portland. It made for a fantastic end to the summer.
