| By day, Dr. William H. Hsu (許 衡) is a mild-mannered associate professor of computer science at Kansas State University. By night, he is known to the weberati as Banazîr the Jedi Hobbit. |
| Strengths: Energetic, ambitious, perseverant, quick-witted, funny. Sincere and forthright. Always eager to learn about a variety of topics in science, especially theoretical CS, math, and AI; knowledgeable about a few of these. |
| Weaknesses: Easily distracted, hyper, spotty short-term memory, prone to typos, chaotic, catastrophic procrastinator. Can be very silly. |
| Special Skills: Can do a lot on very little sleep. Loves challenges and rises to the occasion. Unafraid of pressure. |
