My full name, in case you're interested, is John Eric Fosler-Lussier -- the John is silent. I'm married to Danielle Fosler-Lussier. I'm originally from Liberty, NY, a small town in the Catskill Mountains. The fact that we're currently living in New Jersey I take as divine retribution for all of the Jersey jokes we told while I was growing up.

Check here for Liberty Central High School Class of 1989 reunion information.

I am a 1999 graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, where I earned a Ph.D. in Computer science.

I am a 1993 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, where I earned a B.A. in Linguistics and a B.A.S. in Cognitive science.

While at Penn, I helped Chip Buchholtz write a (now) shareware administration program called prod, which automatically renices and kills processes on Sun workstations. The software can be downloaded from Penn if you're interested.

As my research group knows, I have a personal vendetta against csh as a programming language.

I am a charter member of Dogbert's New Ruling Class

I used to sing with the U.C. Chamber Chorus. Here's a picture from a gig in 1998. I'm the one in the first row just to the right of the conductor's head.
