Notes by Tao Wang, GHC 2006 web volunteer

Hello, this is Tao, from University of Alberta, Canada. I am sharing the key points of what I learned from the speakers. Please feel free to grab me at the conference for the detailed stories if you see me around.

Qian Diao, Intel Research Center Be prepared for the language difficulties that you might face.

Kristin Lauter, Microsoft Research Center International experience helps. Do it when you are young. For example, before you start your family. Otherwise you have to face the two-body problem. It is hard for a family (specially with kids) to relocated.

Meichun Hsu, HP labs, China The activities in HP can be viewed as delivery, development and research. Delivery of current product & service requires immidiate attention. Development of next generation products takes about 0.5 to 2 years. Research takes about 3 to 15 years (e.g. nanotechnology). The delivery is closer to the market and custmers.
