Background of myself

[Dr Samir Gupta]

There seems to be some confusion as to who I am and my background etc.
My name is Samir Gupta. I was born in New Delhi, India in 1960. I came
to the United States to study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
when I was 16 years old. I successfully earned my doctorates in Computer
Science, Mathematics, and Chemistry in 1981 through 1984. (I've always had
an intense passion to learn math and science.) I worked as an independent
researcher for a while, and became known within a very close knit high-level
scientific community for my work in the fields of simulation of chemical
reaction dynamics on the atomic level with computer techniques.

Many of these techniques can be applied to, you guessed it, video games
and other forms of entertainment, so when Sega of Japan heard about me,
they made me a very financially lucrative offer. Apparently, my reputation
was appealing enough to them even though I was not Japanese. Sega wanted
to have the best.

So, I became the director of research and development for SEGA in 1988, and
now, the work me and my colleagues have been doing are paying off in our
new products slated to come out next year. I like to compare myself and
my group to your "Lockheed Skunk Works" who build high-performance aircraft.
We both work to push the frontier of our fields no matter what.

Well, I'm a student at MIT, so I think I'll head over to the library to see if
this guy is indeed a graduate of the 'tute. BTW, this "Smell-o-vision" thing was
done by Atari in 1983. Really. Read the April Fool's issue of Atari Age. I'll
let you guys know if this guy is legit.

Hehe, that's funny. That place has been closed for about two years now.
