My name is Tijana Minić, and I am an incoming PhD student at the Paul G. Allen Center for Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington, working with Dr. Michael Ernst, and Dr. R. Benjamin Shapiro. I completed my undergraduate degree at Seton Hall University, where I double-majored in Psychology and Computer Science. My research at Seton Hall, advised by Marco T. Morazán, focused on developing visualization tools for FSM, a DSL embedded in Racket for the Formal Languages and Automata Theory classroom.

The little stickers you see in the header represent things I'm passionate about and can talk about for days. Computer Science, obviously. I fight imposter syndrome by learning from the incredible people I meet. I also love trying new food (and wine). Oysters and crème brûlée are the two that I love that came to mind first. I visit a lot of cool restaurants wherever I go, so if you want my recommendations, look here.

I am also a niche perfume enthusiast, and I have a deep appreciation for scents. My signature perfume is Nudiflorum by Nasomatto (I'm on my third bottle!). I try to avoid becoming a full-blown perfume collector, especially now that I'm preparing to live on a PhD salary for the next half-decade or so.

Deer are my favorite animals, though I've yet to visit a deer farm. I'm also well-traveled, and have lived interchangeably between Serbia, the US, and Dubai.
