Who is Dmitry Sigaev? A high energy physics theorist with a fourteen-year exposure to programming. I like banter, sarcasm, and black humor. I am good at C, Perl, network protocols, math, physics (hoping to get a Ph.D. in it, sort of). A few other things, too. I never got a formal education in computer science (never regretted that, either), although I coded a lot of stuff. Decent, good with kids. Oops, scratch the last bit.

For the last few years, I have concentrated on high-performance computing for lattice quantum chromodynamics. I currently work at the Center for Theoretical Physics at MIT.

For the time being this section contains some gory details of one of my current projects, the pentaquark two-point correlation analysis.

My papers in SPIRES HEP.

Projects:

• pentaquark two-point correlation analysis, Jan 2004 — current
• 1st quantum correction to certain gluonic correlation functions, Sep 2003 — Dec 2003 (suspended)

Photos of me, my friends and places I've been to, etc.

Latest public galleries:

Note a Russian version (the galleries were meant to be bilingual back in 2003) and a restricted access zone (photos either I or other people don't want public).

I meant to publish man pages of some of my quick programs here, descriptions for others, etc. I coded a pretty good snooker simulator in 1998. Neat and lightning fast 3D graphics (assembly, no acceleration), nice ray-traced pictures. Bells and whistles. The major thing was smooth spheres (as opposed to polygonized ones). Okay, okay, cutting to the chase. I haven't gotten around to taking screen shots yet.

For now, enjoy one and a half man pages :-)
