About me...

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical Engineering at U.C. Berkeley. I'm currently studying IC's (integrated circuits), communications, and CAD while working with Prof. Robert W. Brodersen on what I call the ICMake project.

I'm originally from Columbia, SC, where my parents still live in a house nestled between what we call Hay Pond and the South 40. I did my Bachelor's at NC State University in Raleigh, NC, which is a majorly cool town, no matter what the residents say.

I guess the only other notable thing about me is that I love to play, though sometimes I forget to. ...and I have an identical twin brother.

What I fill my time with...

Most of this stuff is about 4 years out-of-date... I'll try to update it soon, but it's always an uphill battle! The links, however, are updated regularly...

: What is all this talk about chaos these days? And why would any self- respecting graduate student in EE make it the topic of his research? From the fall of '95 to the spring of '97, I worked with Prof. Leon O. Chua in the Nonlinear Electronics Laboratory (NOEL). Follow this link to see more.

: Even though many of my friends shun ray tracing and cringe at phrase "computer artistry", I love graphics and have been playing at it since my brother and I got our first TRS-80 Color Computer in the 5th grade. Lately, I've been doing most of my work with POVRay (the Persistence of Vision Ray Tracer) and Adobe Photoshop. Follow this link to see more.

: Until recently, I sang bass in the Cal Jazz Choir, a nine-person group which is part of UCCE (University of California Choral Ensembles). They do music performed by such groups as Singers Unlimited, Manhattan Transfer, and The Real Group as well as some more popular music and old jazz favorites. Follow this link to see the home page!

: Berkeley is a chef's paradise, with international groceries and food specialty shops all over the place. I live near a part of town known to some as the "gourmet ghetto". Follow this link to see some of my favorite shops and recipes.
