Electronics

 

One of my first experience with electronics was wrapping a wire around a nail and connecting it to a battery to create an electromagnet.  The other was licking a 9v battery.  Since then, electricity has gone from the smoke that escapes from broken electronics to a source of infinite possibility when coupled with clever electronics.  Bread board prototyping led to custom circuit boards and soldering.

 

More recently, I have taken classes about computer architecture from semiconductors and mosfets up to caching and pipelines.  Some of my design projects include wireless chargers, micro controllers, pipelined processors, mosfet and amplifiers, and sensor systems for real time data acquisition.  My work has ranged from optimizing chemical doping on semiconductors to power electronics and mechatronics.  However my main interest lies in understanding hardware so that I can optimize my system design and programming to take full advantage of computing resources.  By understanding the capabilities and complexities of hardware I can leverage it to achieve its fullest potential.
