My name is Elizabeth Denys; you should call me "Liz". I graduated from MIT with an S.B. in Mathematics and an S.B. in Computer Science and Engineering in June 2011, then moved to Manhattan.

I like playing with time series data, the design of algorithms, and UNIX systems. My favorite color is a deep but not navy blue, my favorite punctuation mark is the semicolon, my favorite food is anything with caramelized onions, my favorite edible hash function is Grøstl, my window manager of choice is xmonad, my shell is bash, the best everything bagels have salt, and I use emacs.

I am occasionally found on Zephyr, at work in the kitchen, playing my lever harp and piano, or buried in a book.

I am a Student Information Processing Board member; I helped out with the Debathena project.

I became a sister of Alpha Chi Omega in 2007.

I've been intermittently tracking my flour usage with a Twitter account, @cupsofflour, since the end of July 2010. If you're curious, you can read about the motivation for this project.

Some of my recipes are publicly available.

Sometimes, I create sheet music for songs I've written. I often blog about finished sheet music, but there is often more than just the songs I blog about. I also record unedited midi files with my digital piano as a way of journaling; they aren't intended to be technically interesting.

I like to help teach Python with the Boston Python Workshop.

I took the photograph used in the header image at the gardens of Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, Austria during late winter in 2004.

You can also see my blog, my personal Twitter, my presence on github, and miscellaneous things in my Athena public directory.

Always remember that you can trivially change the delimiter in sed.
