Prior to joining the university, I spent twenty years in industry with a focus on high-performance, embedded processor design in GPUs and wireless communication. I’ve mostly worked for start-ups at various stages from founding to going public. And I really preferred the Teaching Fellow title as it was a more accurate label…
