Professional Information

     I am currently working on a Masters of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering focusing on Digital Signal Processing at the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology - Indianapolis, Indiana. 

     Current Graduate Classes:
          Digital Signal Processing / Filter Design
          Multimedia Systems (Entropy Coding, JPEG, MPEG, Speech Coding, etc.)
          Computational Models and Systems (Algorithm analysis and design, data structures)

     I recently finished my Bachelor's in Music at the University of Miami studying Music Engineering.  I also just finished my first summer internship at Shure, Inc. in Chicago.  My duties included developing and implementing a new audio processing algorithm on an Analog Devices SHARC DSP and testing DSP functional blocks. 

    I have been invited to intern again at Shure for Summer 2006.  In addition, I currently have a dialog open to have my thesis sponsored by Shure.  

    Signal Processing Standards with which I am familiar:
          MPEG Layer 3 Perceptual Audio Coding
          MPEG Video
          JPEG
          Dolby Digital AC-3
          ADPCM
          LPC
          CELP
          Huffman entropy coding
          Arithmetic entropy coding
          Ziv-Lempel (zip file)
    
   
     I have job experience in DSP Development, recording studio mechanical and electrical/electronics maintenance, generator repair (both mechanical and electrical), assistant planning at an oil refinery, and electronics sales.
