Welcome to my webland!
I am a third-year undergrad student at the University of Toronto. I am doing two majors: biochemistry and computer sceience (and I love the second one, but don't tell anyone!).
Oh, and this website, I got it as my (geek) 2010 Valentine's Day
gift from Ali ;).
Thanks Ali, you always surprise me in the most amazing ways!
You can reach me by e-mail at shirin.shahsavand@utoronto.ca.
