Personal Information

A picture of me, taken late at night, sometime during the first year of engineering graduate school.

Having recently (2001) finished my PhD at the California Institute of Technology I'm currenty employed at Applied Minds, Inc., in Glendale, California. There, I'm doing a combination of generaI engineering and intellectual property management.

While at Caltech, I studied in the Department of Mechanical Engineering , conducting research in the area of fluid mechanics. I also was privileged to serve as the Resident Associate at Ruddock House, the finest of the seven undergraduate houses at Caltech.

It seems that a requirement for holding an RA position at Caltech was owning a cat. Shortly after arriving at Ruddock, I joined the club by taking in a Maine Coon. Here's Lhotse the cat in action if you like.

Prior to my arrival at Caltech, I was a student at Rice University in Houston, Texas.
