Information

I am currently a PhD candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Florida.  I received by BS in Computer Engineering and my ME in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Florida.  I am currently a member of the Advanced Space Computing (ASC) Group.  My role in the ASC group focuses on Phase 2 of my dissertation, which involves the virtual prototyping of future space systems.  This work uses my Fast and Accurate Simulation Environment (FASE) in order to analyze and characterize key space applications as well as build and test various system configurations.  This work involves the building of critical fault tolerant components as well as other supplementary models.  I plan on graduating this semester and beginning by career in computer engineering by working for Honeywell in Clearwater, Florida in April.

My Spring 2008 schedule is as follows:
