BioI'm an overly normal guy who strives for mediocrity and excessive plainness. I find boring things fun and bask in avoiding the exciting things in life. I was born in California, quickly shipped up to the Seattle area, got a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering at University of Washington, and am now living in Madison, WI. I got my Master's for a Master's and PhD in EE. My area of interest is in power electronics and electric energy in general.
I want to save the world. I'm appalled by our country's indifference towards environmentally-friendly energy sources and environmental responsibility. Eventually I'd like to tackle some problems by becoming a professor. Seriously, what could be better than creating new technologies and educating the future workforce? Now that's a rewarding job.
Outside of school - I have been addicted to everything Italian, especially the country, for several years now and backpacking Europe is inevitable. I'm always interested in meeting new, cool, open-minded people so drop me a line if you feel so inclined. This especially goes for those in the Madison area, but I'm an equal-opportunity kind of guy.
