It was my dream to go to Stanford University. As I always try to follow my supervisor footstep. I started to my journey on 13th of October behind my beloved Nargish at Rome. It was terrible moment in my life to say goodbye to her. I had to do it because I wanted to explore my experience.
I arrived the special Terminal 5, a special terminal for USA flight. Very tight security. After crossing the security, I got into the plan and landed at Philadelphia International Airport. The immigrant officer asked me several question at least 45 min and gave me a seal to my passport to enter the USA. Again flight to San Francisco L. At last I arrived to Stanford Gust house. The Guest house was very nice.
On 14th , I got up from my bed very early and took my breakfast. I came to know that there was very nice shuttle service for Stanford Campus. I got into the Shuttle and got down in front of the Lab. The Lab Secretary gave me the schedule of meeting with Professor and researchers. Meanwhile, I met two visiting fellow from Germany, Austria. First day, I had a wonderful time with them.
Later on, I met with Professor Mark Musen. He was so kind human being and explained me lots of their work. I also showed my work. He appreciated the work. I also met with Natasha Noy (a key person of Protégé tool, bio-medical ontology). She showed me the work of ICAT, a web-based frame work for protégé tool. They have developed this frame work for WHO. I wonder to see their work. It is similar work that we have done. But, our work has been started at FAO since 2005. It shows the importance of our work. It was also wonderful to work and chat with Timothy Redmond.
I got a little change to visit the campus beside my work. It was amazing environment. I wish I could study in here J. Now, I understood why they are different from others. It is a place for study.
