About Me

I am an assistant professor of electrical engineering at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE). Prior to this, I spent 10 years at the University of California, Berkeley (PhD in EE, December 2009; M.S in EE, May 2005; B.S in EE, August 2002). I worked in the Nonlinear Electronics (NOEL) lab. My advisor was Dr. Leon O. Chua, I was co-advised by Dr. Pravin P. Varaiya. I was funded most of my career in Berkeley by graduate student instructor grants and by Ferenc Kovac of the Electronic Support Group.

My areas of interest are nonlinear dynamical systems and embedded systems. More specifically, I work on autonomous chaotic circuits and cellular automata. I have also worked on Robotics and Reconfigurable (Software-Defined) Radio on FPGA platforms. I have been working on electric circuits and programming for 11 years; on systems theory for 4 years. I also love to teach, I have been teaching since 1999 (University of California, Berkeley 1999 - 2009; MSOE 2009 - Present).

For further details, please look at my CV (updated: 03/04/10).

The fractals in the top banner were obtained from chaoscope. The colored attractor on the right is from chaotic_flow.csproj with a render setting of Light (800x270), scale:0.409, gamma:2, brightness:2. The bluish solid attractor is from poly_func_sinc.csproj with a rending setting of solid (800x720), scale:0.365, gamma:1, opacity:8, roughness:0.008, background:0x000000, ambient:0x0000FF, diffuse:0xFFFF00. The white background banner is a screen shot from a Mathematica Demonstration. With LiveGraphics3D you should be able to rotate the 3D attractor.
