Hi all, I am Ankur studying at Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal as a Computer Science student. I am at 2nd year (4rd semester) in college.
I'm currently a PhD candidate at the [http://biocomputation.herts.ac.uk Biocomputation group] at the University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, United Kingdom.


I've been using fedora since fedora 8.
I've been contributing to Fedora for a while now. It started with [[User:Sundaram| Rahul Sundaram]] taking a font packaging workshop. I've come a long way since then, but am still quite a learner. If there's anything I can help you with, feel free to ping me either over e-mail or one of the IM channels.


I am a part of the FreeMedia and LocalContact programmes. Please read the concerned pages for more information on the two.
I'm interested in my research, computational neuroscience, and enabling Open Science in whatever way I can help.


I'm also a font packager. Just have 3 of them under my belt, but that number's going to increase regularly. :)
Note: Since I'm not in India, I cannot service media requests from India currently.
