Biography: Born and raised near Boston, I began college at the University of Massachusetts with no technical background, intending to study philosophy. 5 years later, I graduated with a degree in computer systems engineering; my undergraduate thesis was the design and implementation of a payload and control algorithm for the world’s smallest altitude controlled research balloons. I got to apply this work in two major air quality studies, of New York City and Houston pollution plumes.
During my MS, I have researched particle-strike induced soft errors during two internships at Intel, and researched RFID security at the University of Massachusetts. My MS thesis is on low cost device identification and random number generation in integrated circuits.
Starting in Fall 07, I will begin working towards a PhD at UC Berkeley. |
