I was a Post-Doc in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California at Berkeley. My research activity at Berkeley was in the area of CMOS analog RF IC design. Specifically, my work focused on new receiver architectures which facilate high levels of transceiver integration in a low-cost, standard CMOS technology. A large component of my Ph.D. work, centered on an image-rejection mixer for a multi-standard CMOS receiver. A later portion of this work was on a second generation multi-standard transceiver which attempted to meet the specifications of the GSM and DECT standards (two popular european commerical standards). All of this work was done under the auspices of my advisor Professor Paul Gray.

During the fall of 1997, I was the lecturer of a short course entitled, "Issues in RF IC Design" which is offered as a class through the National Technological University. The course tapes may be obtained through the Berkeley branch of NTU, better know as CalVIEW.

For most of 2001 I was acting as both a consultant for a number of silicon valley companies in addition to my post-doc position at Berkeley. In December of 2001, I accepted a position at Berkana Wireless, a small silicon valley start-up with an emphasis on CMOS RF. My current contact information as of December 2002 is:
