Let me be honest with you. When I applied to UCR for my PhD I didn't think I would end up studying here, I didn't know too much about this school, nor about its faculty members. However, the Department of Mathematics in Riverside has a lot of good and worldwide famous mathematicians. Among them, John Baez caught my attention when I applied to UCR, and he is, together with my PhD advisor Qi S. Zhang, the main reason I decided to come here.
John Baez is a very active professor, not only in the university, but also online: in his webpage (one of the first "blogs" in the world wide web) you can find, literally, all sorts of things; I love to get lost surfing through it! He is an awesome instructor, I had the opportunity to attend one of his classes, MATH209A, an introduction to measure theory, and after that I decided to do my best to attend as many of his classes as I could. That's the reason that I have been attending his seminars on Network Theory and on Category Theory!
