      I’d really like to be. At some point I made a choice to do Computer Science. I was very interested in Physics as well… What matters is to have a hunger for ‘learning’. If you have this hunger, you can learn any subject you have an interest in learning. I have this hunger to learn and that’s why my research has been in areas that I’ve never thought of ‘studying’ at school. I’ve learnt about Economics, Psychology, Sociology, and Philosophy during my PhD… all these why doing research in Computer Science! I can’t claim I’ve become an expert in these other subjects though… but I think if I wanted to, I definitely could.
