An interest in audio electronics was the initial area that drew me into electrical engineering. From that starting point, the breadth of the discipline is amazing, particularly in the areas of electronic communications, computing, and robotics.
I would like for my students to develop a holistic understanding of engineering that includes the relationships of theory to practical applications.
I am on a continuing quest for a deeper understanding of engineering and how it can be used to approach some of the more significant problems in our society.
