Phillip Phuc Van Le

Hi, my name is Phillip and I'm a 5th year student at MIT. Yes, I finally succumbed to peer pressure and wrote my own home-page. I'm currently majoring in computer science and am taking pre-med classes.

I used live on Conner 5 , and still spend a lot of my time there. I was starting middle hitter for the Intercollegiate Volleyball Club. We won the New England Club Volleyball League Championship last year.

I have been working at the Clinical Decision-Making Group at the Lab for Computer Science for Ira Haimowitz since I was a puny sophomore, and am now working on my thesis under Venerable Grandfather Prof. Peter Szolovits and "Zak" Dr. Isaac Kohane.

Sorry, it seems like your browser can't handle java applets. Go get the latest version of Nestcape. I've been learning a little bit of java. Here's one of my first java programs. Click anywhere and drag dilbert around.

This past summer, and part time over the term, I have been programming Newton's (pen-based computers made by Apple) for Dr. Jane Weeks at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. I worked there this summer as well.

I just presented a paper as a Student Paper Finalist at the Symposium for Computer Applications in Medical Care (SCAMC). I didn't win, but at least got a trip to New Orleans and the opportunity to present the Newton work.


Here is a picture of me:

OK, maybe not. But there is definitely a close resemblance between me and my favorite TV character...

I was able to find a .wav file of the MacGyver theme song.

I also found a link to some great tv shows like MacGyver, the A-team, and Airwolf.


Here are some photos of my friends:

Here you see me (middle) and two of my friends, Jimmy and Joy Cavalaris (Jim's on the left...my left that is :). They live in Florida, which is almost as nice as California. This photo was taken at the Christmas dinner, 1995.


And here is Brian McDonald, another Floridian. Even though there's all this food in front of him, he's still skinny...Next year, "we're gonna pump... you up."

This is Raylene Sanchez, sporting the retro look. I think that sweatshirt was worn by Bruce Lee in one of his movies...

Here's a picture of the 522 triple. From Left to Right: Lisa Moonlite Christian, Meredith "Cry me a river" Otterson, and Jamie Bear Buller. Of course, they weren't sitting together, so I had to do some cut-and-paste magic... (Imagine what I could have done with Brian's surprise pics!)

This is a picture of the floor... Why aren't I in it? I'm the one holding the camera.

Here's Team IVC, manning a table at one of our home tournaments. The dark, slow-looking guy sitting at the table is Parry "Come Alive" Jones Reginald Husbands G. Sitting next to him is Amy Smith '98. Behind them is our ex-fearless leader, Evan Sherbrooke. He's talking to Darcy Duke, one of our (only) fans. The guy missing half his body is Gunter Niemeyer G, who is getting his PhD this year and leaving us :( But at least that moves me up to the #1 middle hitter spot.

The short, fat guy is Koji Asari. In reality, he's really skinny, but he's always making fun of my weight, so I squished his picture to make him look fat. Actually, this is a rather poor picture, but he hates having his picture taken, so I had to do it when he didn't know about it. He's our setter, and along with Parry, was on the NECVL All-star team in '96.
