surf. He received a BS (Electrical Engineering) degree in 1985 and a ME

1988 he worked as a development engineer for Teradyne, Inc. in Boston,
Massachusetts. In 1993 he received a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering
from Brown University, where he also received a Brown Presidential
Teaching Award and an Outstanding Research Award from the Brown

Cambridge University in the United Kingdom from 1993 to 1996, and was a
1997 Fulbright Fellow at the Institute of Systems Science (now A*STAR)
in
Singapore. From 1997 to 2005 he was a Senior Research Scientist at FX
Palo Alto Laboratory, Inc. Currently he is a freelance consultant, as
well as working on a manuscript and several speculative projects.

60 papers in these areas and has received Best Paper Awards at the ACM
