I have experience in systems-level design and am comfortable working with hardware in experimental settings. My ideal job will be an applications-oriented position in a research and development group. EDUCATION 2003 Ph.D. Electrical Engineering University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL Developed novel approaches to correct for the tissue- induced aberrations encountered in medical ultrasound imaging, improving the resolution and detectability of small lesions. In related work, developed computationally efficient, Fourier-domain algorithms for 3-D image formation from cylindrical apertures, such as those used on catheters for intravascular imaging. 1999 M.S. Electrical Engineering University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL Conducted research on blind equalization for communication systems. Thesis: "The fractionally spaced vector constant modulus algorithm" 1996 B.S.E. Electrical Engineering Walla Walla College, College Place, WA (summa cum laude) EXPERIENCE 8/99--5/02: Graduate research assistant in bioacoustics and signal processing Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 6/01--8/01: Lecturer for ECE310 Digital Signal Processing Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL Responsible for preparing and delivering lectures, holding office hours, and creating exams, problem sets, solutions, and in-class demos. ECE310 is a four-credit-hour, upper-division course in discrete-time signals and systems. (See http://www.ece.uiuc.edu/courses/) 8/96--5/03: Graduate teaching assistant for ECE320 Digital Signal (various Processing Lab and other courses semesters) Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL Taught lab sections and authored course content for one of the top undergraduate DSP labs in the country. ECE320 emphasizes real-time, assembly language implementation skills on TI 320C54x hardware. 1/95--8/96: Webmaster Campus Computer Center, Walla Walla College, College Place, WA Pioneered the development of WWC's web site during the web's infancy; major accomplishments include constructing a virtual campus tour, recruiting faculty, staff, student participation in page authoring, and teaching a seminar on basic HTML for prospective authors. 6/95--8/95: Summer research assistant National Optical Astronomy Observatories, Tucson, AZ Conducted research, set up instrumentation, and analyzed data for a project to improve image quality at the McMath-Pierce solar telescope on Kitt Peak. 8/93--7/94: High school teacher Pohnpei Seventh-day Adventist School, Pohnpei, Fed. States of Micronesia As part of a volunteer team, taught high-school computer, math, and music classes to about 100 students.
