Experience:
| June 2007-present |
| Connexions Project, Rice University |
Houston, TX |
Post-doctoral Investigator
Direct a National Science Foundation-funded project developing software tools for Connexions,
a non-profit, open source educational publishing startup. Began by identifying critical needs in
mathematics authoring and accordingly redefined project roadmap predating my tenure. Consistent
with new goals, manage programmers in developing a suite of XML content conversion tools whose
delivery is enabling a critical partnership with the IEEE Signal Processing Society. Also conduct
Connexions marketing workshops around the world, direct content entry projects, and provide first-line
customer contact and support.
| Fall 2007-Spring 2007 |
| Dept. of Electrical and Computer Eng., Rice University |
Houston, TX |
Graduate Student Researcher, Digital Signal Processing Group
Conducted self-directed research in distributed data processing for wireless sensor networks. Led a multi-disciplinary,
multi-national effort to develop novel signal processing techniques for distributed, irregular-grid wavelet transforms as well as
networking tools for programming generalized distributed algorithms. Engaged in grant writing, oversaw undergraduate student researchers
implementing wavelet algorithms in hardware, and managed the cross-departmental COMPASS group research agenda.
| Summer 2003 |
| Raytheon Missile Systems |
Tucson, AZ |
Post-graduate Intern, Advanced Programs
Conducted self-directed research into applying image super-resolution algorithms for improved
automatic target recognition with forward-looking infrared imaging systems.
| Summer 2001 |
| Cicada Semiconductor Incorporated |
Austin, TX |
Design Engineering Intern, Digital Signal Processing Group
Spearheaded update of MATLAB digital subscriber loop simulation code from the HDSL2 standard to the
SHDSL standard.
| Summer 2000 |
| Hewlett-Packard Corporation |
Fort Collins, CO |
Intern, Systems VLSI Technology Organization
Conducted research on power consumption of advanced 64-bit adder in developmental PA-RISC
processor. Achieved 40% reduction in circuit power draw with an increase in circuit performance.
