Gazette: Birth of Dr. Zhang

Bin Zhang passed his defense 30 minutes ago in conference room of CEDAR, University at Buffalo. His presentation "Pattern matching and retrieval with binary features" lasts 90 minutes with 88 slides (his committee had to remind him twice to watch out the time), but everyone seemed very interested in his work. Totally 19 people (including me, the cameraman) attended his defense, even the director of CSE graduate school showed up (which is very rare case) at the last few minutes. Senior research scientists in CEDAR endorsed Bin's presentation as the best Doctoral defense in years.

In past 18 years, Bin had been at school for 4 completed degrees. He enjoyed his time at schools and labs, and now he is moving towards the highest degree-postdoctoral in UCLA, if it can be considered as an educational degree.

Editorial: I'm so proud of him.
