`

`1994 - 2001
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Rice University, Houston, TX
`Research Associate - Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
`Utilized a wide variety of DSP techniques for terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy. Solved inverse
`problems, improved resolution, and facilitated imaging and classification for real-time THz systems.
`Authored 9 journal articles, and presented and/or authored papers for 16 conferences or lecture series. Other
`areas of investigation include wavelets, speech processing, biomedical imaging, and computer architecture.
`
`1988 - 1998
`
`
`
`Texas Instruments Incorporated, Houston, TX
`1997 - 1998
`
`Circuits Center of Expertise Engineer - Memory Products Design
`Originated comparisons of internal and competitor designs through simulation, characterization,
`deprocessing, and internal probe. Identified and evaluated key aspects of DRAM designs by interacting
`with design teams, product engineering, competitor analysis group, and external resources to gather and
`disseminate information. Built web pages to report the analysis to a broad audience. Integrated information
`and made sound conclusions from which future designs could draw.
`
` •
`
`•
`
` Promoted and helped implement the formation of the Circuits COE that resulted in being the only
`individual contributor chosen from the Houston design center.
`• Achieved an 8% speed improvement in access time through a redesign of the critical path and output
`buffers.
`Identified and correlated device processing characteristics which degraded signal transmission and
`device performance.
`• Simulated and summarized the work on competing access versus hold time specifications which
`demonstrated that additional regulation circuitry was not needed.
`
`
`1990 - 1997
`
`IC Design Engineer - Application Specific DRAM Design
`Demonstrated engineering breadth and depth through the design, simulation, probe, debug, and test support
`of various major sections on at least five devices, two of which had 95M units shipped with $525M in sales.
`These included row and row redundancy, column and column redundancy, design-for-test, I/O buffers,
`internal refresh, and data I/O. Performed full-chip schematic verification, design rule verification, and
`probe versus simulation comparison. Supported the leadframe design, ESD implementation, parasitic back
`annotation, laser repair, and layout.
`
` •
`
` Originated six patents and two pending patents that focused on reduced silicon usage and improved
`DRAM performance.
`• Traveled to Japan (KTI), and Singapore (TECH) for Design support and training. Traveled to TI-
`Singapore for T3/batch testing support.
`• Spearheaded new hire activities and on-campus recruiting which resulted in at least ten new employees.
`• Mentored and supervised engineers and layout support to achieve on-time schematic verification.
`• Selected point person by V.P. to assemble a team, create, and help instruct "DRAM Design for Non-
`DRAM Designers". Implemented the course both in Europe and Asia Pacific region.
`Investigated and audited TI's first commercial 64 megabit Synchronous DRAM column, internal
`refresh, voltage regulators, and power-up circuitry.
`• Provided weekly training of DRAM design basics to Houston PDE/CQE engineers.
`
`1988 - 1990
`
`Product Development Engineer - Video RAM Development
`Programmed a PWS Colt IIIA device tester for gross functional tests and test time reduction. Drafted
`specification sheets. Created and updated device comparison tables. Resolved customer issues including
`returned device evaluation and device specification comparison.
