Pictures of me, my advisor, and MIT President Vest at Commencement 2000.

I have been working for Analog Devices since 2000. I help develop the internal SPICE-like simulator. I am a big fan of Verilog-AMS. I was the chairman of the subcommittee for compact modeling extensions, which were approved in LRM version 2.2. I wrote a tutorial (paper, presentation) on Verilog-A compact modeling for BMAS 2004.

I received my PhD in Electrical Engineering from MIT; my advisor was Prof. John Wyatt. My dissertation was on the theory of noise in nonlinear circuits. Other works are listed here.

Where, oh, where have you gone, Dreamery? The Dreamery line of "superpremium" ice cream was sold off to CoolBrands, Int'l. as part of an anti-trust consent agreement when Nestle bought Dreyer's. No store in my area carries my favorite flavor, nor can they special order it.

I was an undergrad at Rice University. Other places from my past (in case you think you know me): Stillwater, OK; Zagreb, Croatia; Reston, VA; Wuerzburg, Germany.

Random links that were interesting once (and may still be):

• I've done some work on nPOPuk, a free POP3 mail client that supports SMTP-auth and runs on the HP Jornada 820. (The J820 is a flash memory-based handheld PC that I can turn on and download e-mail before my regular computer even finishes booting.)
• All sorts of electronic design info at The Designer's Guide
• Read the comics at UberSoft or Sherman's Lagoon
• The Register has all the scuttlebutt of the computer world

Lest I be accused of simply putting fluff on the web, and not providing any valuable content, here's a little something about Pythagorean Triples.

President Clinton was a featured speaker at MIT's Commencement 1998. I got to shake his hand (and give a speech myself) since I was the outgoing President of the Graduate Student Council.

             Experience keeps a dear school,
             but fools will learn in no other.

                       the original Boston Latin School
