Professor of Engineering at UC Davis with a focus on Computer Security. He is a very hardcore libertarian and constantly references The Simpsons and Jon Stewart. He also enjoys making fun of non-science and non-math majors. Also bureaucrats and politicians. And students who whine.
If you take a programming class from him, you might end up competing against your classmates on a scoreboard that automatically grades your programs. There is also a story of how a group of students tried to turn in a project late and he stated he will accept the assignment if the group could collectively do one-hundred push-ups. Of course, since they were in a computer science class, they failed.
