[email protected] WORK EXPERIENCE University of Houston Clear Lake, Houston, TX Aug '14 - present Assistant Professor of Computer Engineering Teaching graduate level classes in Computer Engineering. Areas of interest Design, Test and Verification of digital designs. Oracle Corporation, Austin, TX Senior Hardware Engineer Sep '10 - Jan '14 Recently employed at Oracle Corporation in Computer and Microelectronic Technology (CMT) division, formerly Sun Microsystems. The CMT division designs, develops and implements complete SPARC systems, including SPARC Core, SOC for SPARC Core, and Solaris Operating System. I was responsible for functional verification of the SPARC Core. I have worked on two SPARC processor cores, Tahoe (S4) and Siete (S5). Functional verification includes many sub-tasks, including working with logic design team on design specification documents, Test Generation, Test Environment design and development, Functional Coverage specification and implementation, root causing Test failures, Formal verification, use and design of many other Design Tools. - Project : Siete (S5) CPU (2013-2014) Most recently I worked on design verification of the Load Store Unit for a new SPARC processor. I proposed, specified, and implemented a new test generator for testing of the Load Store unit (LSU) for the SPARC Core. The new test generator provided hundreds of tests that otherwise would have to be hand written. I wrote testing and coverage specification for LSU blocks. Design and verification work is still in progress. Siete is projected to tape-out in March 2015. - Project : Tahoe (S4) CPU (2010-2013) I specified, designed and implemented the unit test environment (UTE) for the Instruction Fetch Unit (IFU) design for Tahoe.
