About

I received the BS and MS degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Virginia in 1977 and 1978, respectively. I received the Ph.D. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1984. After one year as a member of the technical staff at MITRE corporation, I joined the UVA faculty in the department of electrical engineering. Since then I have dedicated most of my professional career to UVA where I have taught and performed research in digital systems with a focus on embedded computing. I have been recognized with several awards for teaching including an All-University Teaching Award. My research has been in the area of embedded computing with applications in control, signal processing, energy management, biomedical instrumentation, and industrial cyber security. I currently serve as an associate editor for the IEEE Internet of Things Journal.
