She can teach me anytime:) From her name, I am guessing she is either Lebanese or Palestinian American. Not a bad looking girl and very smart. I like smart and good looking, and humbleness needs to go with that, too.

Wow, she's amazing! I'm glad she's doing music as well.

I did that once...I think it's called a "homepage." They were pretty big back in the 90's..not sure about now, I forgot how to do html.

I've met some very interesting foreign professors over here, but for some reason the term 'B-grade academic' always seems to come to mind when I think 'foreign professor'.

So, Miles, how does that pole up your ass taste? I mean, from the way you post, I'm assuming it's jammed up there far enough to be affecting your ability to speak or ingest food.

I think we all know that Konkuk U likely hired her to brag about her. If she were just a year or two older, and not worth bragging about, they would have tossed her resume aside.

I don't think she's good looking, but I would like to take her classes. She sounds like a pretty good teacher and the nanotech stuff looks really interesting to me.

http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200804/200804230012.html

The above article confirms this:

"while Sabur's thesis work is not extraordinary......."

"Sabur has made no achievements in research or teaching apart from the fact that she is studying in a doctoral course at a young age."

Konkuk University hopes to make the most of Sabur's reputation as a young female genius to enhance and promote its image.

Given that anyone who talks themselves up as a 'girl genius' comes across as a bit of a tool, she seems like she is on a hiding to nothing.
