I believe being an engineer is more of a state of mind than an actual profession. I strongly believe than anyone that enjoys fixing things and problem solving can and should be an engineer.
TECHNICAL BIOGRAPHY:
Born in Cannes, France in 1978. Received Msc. from ESIEE " École Supérieure d'Ingénieurs en Électronique et Électrotechnique" in Paris, France. After graduation in 2001, joined Fujitsu Processor Technology (FPT) for a research and development position on SPARC micro- processors in San Jose, California.
Then, he decided to joined ACSEL under Prof. V. G. Oklobdzija to pursue a Ph.D. for more in depth research.
