**** **.*. ********** *** Computer Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology 1994 M.S. Electrical and Computer Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology 1993 Student at Georgia Tech Lorraine, Metz, France 1992 B.E.E. Electrical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology Professional Experience:

2014 - Sr. Design Engineer, Video Accessory Corporation, Longmont, CO Design embedded solutions for Video Scaling using the Altera VIP suite. Utilized FPGA devices and Verilog/VHDL to create custom blocks in hardware. Implement soft processor cores and IP blocks to create hardware solutions. Created HW/SW interfaces in the NIOS II development environment using C/C++. Developed solutions for web based control of video switches using the PIC 32 MLA with both telnet and HTTP2 servers. Investigated methods for transmission of H264 and H265 encoded video over Ethernet based on customer interaction and expressed needs. Generated product manuals and participated in development meetings with customers both on site and off site.

2016 – 2019 Sr. Research Associate, ECEE, University of Colorado at Boulder Co-PI on NASA project for monitoring of cloud activity to predict outages and improve the performance of solar energy integration into the grid within 30 seconds for forecasting window. Supervised efforts on the integration of microprocessor system with camera and wifi interface of logging unit to Cloud with Amazon Web Services for capture of images to detect solar outages using stitching algorithms in Matlab. Interfaced with community of Boulder to recruit citizen scientists for capture of data with mobile app and also future installation of home based monitoring units. Evaluated low energy wireless links from camera unit to server in the lab at CU and debugged hardware interfaces with colleagues. Participated in meetings with scientists from NREL to ensure configuration of data capture was correct for analysis and detection of cloud formations. Submitted report to NASA at the end of the project. 2012-2013 ORISE Fellow, Functional Performance and Device Use Lab, Division of Physics, OSEL/CDRH, Food and Drug Administration, NSF Scholar in Residence, Wireless and EMC Lab, Division of Physics, OSEL/CDRH Supervised team in the evaluation of communication links for limited mobility patients in the hospital setting using off-the-shelf 802.11 BANG devices and evaluated Bluetooth low energy interfaces from medical devices to cell phones in the home setting for chronic illness management. Networked with local investigators at the Walter Reed Hospital at NIH and also contacted vendors of wearable medical devices for evaluation of coexistence with Bluetooth LE and mobile devices on the 4G LTE network. Characterized base stations for Bluetooth using a TI development kit in the anechoic chamber at FDA and submitted final report to the NSF at the end of the appointment. Supervised preparation of conference article presented at the MIT Body Sensor Network conference based on related work. 2010-2011 Research Associate, ECE Engineering, University of Colorado at Boulder Participated in workshops organized by NREL, and RASEI. Initiated discussions with NextStep Electric for research collaboration. Received IRB approval for human subject research at UCCS and worked through patent filing and commercialization for fall monitoring system. 2009-2010 Assistant Professor Adjunct, ECE Engineering, University of Colorado Boulder Taught classes at the undergraduate and graduate level in Digital Logic and Hybrid Embedded Systems. Supervised Capstone Design Team in biomedical monitoring project. Recruited students for research projects and supervised efforts on Microsoft Design Competition. Guided independent study efforts.

2002-2009 Assistant Professor, Department of Engineering, University of Denver Developed program in Computer Engineering. Focused on the creation of courses and labs for microcontrollers and FPGAs for both undergraduate and graduate level instruction. Served on committee for evaluation by ABET and was representative to the Senate for the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. Managed funded proposals in the amount of $997,000 over seven years. Presented papers at local, national, and international venues. 2000-2001 Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering, Rochester Institute of Technology

Revamped the Digital Logic laboratory to use FPGA devices. Developed a class in High Speed Digital Design and advised senior design projects. Worked with graduate students on research projects and presented papers at conferences. Prepared proposals for internal review and networked with funded faculty at University of Rochester. Attended NSF National workshop in update New York where I met the inventor of the pacemaker. 1999-2000 Visiting Assistant Professor, Computer Engineering, Georgia Tech Regional Engineering Program, Savannah, GA, Georgia Institute of Technology Founded the labs for the undergraduate program in Computer Engineering during the first semester offerings of these courses. Taught classes in DSP First and Digital Design in coordination with the faculty in Atlanta. Submitted conference papers and developed proposals. Peer Reviewed Publications:
