  Hi All,
  I would like to introduce myself to you.  My name is Stella Chan and I am a lead program manager in SQL Server Reporting Services team and my team works on the Data Visualization and reporting controls.
  
  I started at Microsoft more than 10 years ago after gradudating from Harvard University with a Ph.D. degree in theoretical physics.  And I have been programming since I was 11 years old and have been creating charts/graphs and visualizations throughout my academic career.
  
  Prior to joining reporting services, I have mainly worked out data mining engines, visualizations, analytics and business intelligence applications except for my last project.  In my last project, I was the system and release PM for Microsoft RoundTable, the 360 panoramic conferencing device from MS.
  
  Anyways, I want to say hi.  My team will be actively monitoring this forum.
  
  Welcome!
