I am a Professor of Computer Engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I earned a B.S.E. in Engineering Analysis and Design from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. and a M.S.E.E. and Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University.

Professor Tracy Larrabee, and I guide UCSC's SCTest group. My primary research interest is Design-for-Test and Design-for-Manufacturing of modern CMOS technologies. This includes how physical design affects testing, quality level, and ease of manufacturing; fabrication defects; and how these defects affect the testability of ICs. Other research interests include failure analysis and design that makes failure analysis easier. Click here for some recent research publications.

I tend to teach courses involving logic design or computer organization, such as Intro to Computer Organization (CE12C), Digital Design (CE100), and Testing Digital Circuits (CE224). Click here for a new sctest page that includes my latest software: PDFT.
