In this page, I list down the contact information of some important researchers out there whose research works are somehow related to mine. This list is mainly created to assist my own research.

I have met some of them, but for the rest, I only read their papers. Hopefully, one day I can meet them in an international conference. I am aware that this list is not exhaustive. However, I will only update this page once a year or as needed.

Since my work intersects several research areas, I group the researchers based on sub-areas. I add a note on how the researcher's important works are related to mine. I know that these people have also done much more research works but in this page I only list the works that are related with mine.

I also have their photos here so that I can quickly remember them if I bump into them during international conferences. The photos are taken from their own website or from other sources, and slightly edited so that the photo height is uniform ~ 150 pixels. Btw, if any of you that are listed here happens to visit this page and wants to provide a better photo, you can contact me via my email above. Similarly, not everyone likes to have his/her photo uploaded to other people's website. You can also request to have your name/photo removed.

I also put links to their personal websites. Usually, researchers like to upload their recent research works to their own website much faster than the actual publication in journals or conferences... So, frequently visiting the personal website of researchers in similar area is actually a good idea.
