Brief Biographical Sketch:
I'm a senior in the MIT EE/CS program. I'm also studying a little thermal-fluid engineering and public policy for fun. I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.
Aside from that, I'm a bit of a music fanatic. I build speakers and other audio equipment in my spare time. While my friends consider me to be hardcore and picky, I'm glad that I consider audio an artful hobby that I don't try and turn into an objective research topic, or a business. I look forward to sharing my interests with you at Splash, Spark, and HSSP.
I'm a previous director of Splash (2005) and chairman of ESP (2007). Since I'm one of the many devoted volunteers that run ESP, I'd be happy to hear your feedback or suggestions on anything we do. If you see me, just come up and talk to me! I'll probably be wearing one of my 8 ESP T-shirts.
