  My interests are in real-time architectures and scheduling algorithms for computing, communication and coordination of physical computing systems. These include (1) wireless control of industrial automation networks, (2) medical device software and systems, (3) energy-efficient building automation, (4) real-time parallel computation and (5) networked automotive cyber-physical systems.

Brief Bio:

  I completed my Ph.D. in Electrical & Computer Engineering in Feb 2008 from Carnegie Mellon University. I also did my BS and MS at CMU in 2000 and 2002 respectively.

In 2002, I was a member of the Ultra-Wide Band Wireless Group at Intel Labs. I was an international scholar in the Wireless Systems Group at IMEC, Belgium in 2003. It was a great experience with fun research, good friends and a lot of adventure. I have worked on ASIC chip design at FORE Systems (Marconi Communications) in 1999 and Gigabit Ethernet at Apple Computer Inc. in the summer of 2000.

  I love to revel off the beaten path & hike in the great outdoors. My goal is life is to introduce the underprivileged to creative technical education in systems that solve real problems.
