April 5th, 2013 - I will join the faculty in the Computer Science and Engineering Department at the University of Notre Dame this fall.
Who am I? What is my plan?
Welcome. My name is Tim Weninger, I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign under the direction of Dr. Jiawei Han. I recently graduated with my Master of Science degree in December of 2008, from Kansas State University. After graduate school I hope to find a job as a research scientist or teach computer science or both.
What am I doing?
Currently, I am a student and resercher in the Data Mining Research Group the University of Illinois working on problems in relationships between entities found in structured and unstructured data.
I am married to Jordan (Vieyra) Weninger. She is also a recent graduate of K-State, with a degree in Music Education.
I find time to stay involved in several activities on campus and abroad. My CV describes lots of things, but I mostly have fun when I spend time with Jordan, watch movies or converse with friends.
In my limited spare time I disassemble and fix things, even if they're not broken. I also keep fairly involved in politics.
How can you reach me?
I respond fairly quickly to emails sent to weninge1@illinois.edu, and I always have my cell phone on at +1 (620) 664-7020. I maintain an office at the Siebel Center for Computer Science in Urbana, IL, and I can sometimes be contacted with GTalk instant messenger system via tweninger@gmail.com. You'll also find me on Facebook and LiveJournal, but I have an aversion to blog-sites, so I rarely check my accounts.
