Of local interest

• The purpose and objective of a business (excerpt), by Peter Drucker is something all engineers need to know
• VideoLectures' top lectures: machine learning lectures are surprisingly valuable companions to tutorial papers and coding.
• You and Your Research by Richard Hamming (of the Hamming code, Hamming window, &c).
• Why to not not start a startup by Paul Graham (this is for engineering graduate students).
• Duncan Watts' research that explains much about Matlab, Windows, x86 architectures, and more.
• Sensor Nation, IEEE Spectrum, July 2004.
• Systemantics by John Gall (1975).
• Old programming projects (pre-2005)
• Undergraduate thesis, "Modeling and Fault Diagnosis of Automotive Lead-Acid Batteries," advised by Dr Giorgio Rizzoni.
• Map of OSU ECE undergraduate courses.

Personal

I'm (getting) married!

My real site (old personal site, old reading list).

I like photography.

This will change the world, and you can help: microfinance at Kiva.org.

Before electrical engineering introduced me to the world of applied math, I used to do a lot of entertaining programming---standard tidbits like fractals and genetic algorithms (partial). By 2005, I had traded my C, Lisp, and Python for Matlab and engineering computing. Now, as a researcher in statistics and allied fields, I am migrating my work to a more serious research platform, namely the Sage integrated math environment for Python. I'm documenting this transition here. I still have some ancillary interest in programming modern systems, such as the Cell processor and CUDA.
