Steven Winikoff, Chief Engineer

Steven is that most dangerous of creatures, a programmer carrying a screwdriver. A Unix system administrator and manager of the Unix system administration group in Concordia University's central computing facility, he also occasionally teaches part-time in computer science at Concordia, Montreal, Quebec and more recently has begun work on a doctorate in computer science.

His master's thesis was about machine learning, and his doctoral research topic is question answering, a subfield of natural language processing. When not sitting in front of a monitor or working in the machine room, he can usually be found playing the clarinet.

Favorite Quote: "It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow." - Dr. Robert H. Goddard
