Ann Arbor, Mi

I developed local resonant clocking using integrated inductors and parasitic clock distribution capacitance. Other projects were studying body-biased devices in SOI circuits.

Austin, Tx

Developed resonant clocking ideas as a summer intern at IBM.

Doctor Of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Electrical And Electronics Engineering
