about me: i am an electrical engineering phd candidate at brown university. presently i am working on algorithms for online error detection in logic circuits and fault tolerant architectures with my advisor, iris bahar. on a personal level i thoroughly enjoy experimenting with analog/mechanical computers, developing applications on embedded systems (iphone,arduino) and quantitative trading. i currently live in providence ri, with my girlfriend and our two cats.
