Professional Change
After many years in academia doing research, I’ve recently joined the software industry. I am now working at Microsoft, specifically, at their Search Technology Center in Munich. It’s an exciting and challenging work!
I will continue doing my Common Lisp explorations in my free time and talk about them in here as before (disclaimer: the views and opinions expressed on this blog are my own and not those of my employer).
Using Twitter
A long time ago I created a Twitter account and tried. Didn’t explore it much and it was left more or less abandoned. Some days ago, for no apparent reason, I’ve decided to give it a second try and use it as a source of information and a way, perhaps, to keep contact with some persons I know. So far so good! Anyway, you can follow me here for some quick texts.
A new beginning
This summer I have returned to Coimbra. Although I still had some more time at MIT, an offer was made to me that I couldn’t refuse and as such, I’ve terminated my postdoc to start a new position. The best of it is the freedom to pursue my interests and define my own line of research. In spite of this, I am still collaborating in some projects with MIT.
A bit quiet and recent changes
My online presence, specifically this blog/homepage has been quiet for the past several months. This was mostly due to my postdoc at MIT and also a little laziness I must add. Anyway, I am slowly changing this. I am making this my main site on the web and started my cleaning and organizing a little bit this blog and how to coordinate the stuff from the other places where I have a presence, like the tumblr or the books blog. There’s still a lot to do but it will fall into place one of these days. I guess a big-bang style update would be the best but I don’t think that’s going to happen. The big news is that I have my own domain now! Finally http://jorgetavares.com became free and so it’s pointing now here! As well as some of the others more famous domain terminations. One more reason to give more life to this place!
The Strange Attractors
The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful.
– Henri Poincaré
This is my weblog/homepage dedicated to my research activities. Make yourself at home. :-)
