I grew up in Holmdel, NJ and graduated from Holmdel High School in 1979. I
received my B.S and M.S degrees in Electrical Engineering from MIT in 1983
and 1986 respectively.  After working one year at the Hughes Research Labs
in Malibu, CA, I started in the interdisciplinary <A

program at <A HREF="http://www.caltech.edu/">Caltech</A> in 1987.  As a PhD
student I worked in the labs of <A
HREF="http://www.klab.caltech.edu/">Christof Koch</A> and <A
HREF="http://www.pcmp.caltech.edu/">Carver Mead</A> building analog vision
chips.  After I received my PhD in 1991, I worked for two years as a postdoc
at the MIT AI lab for Tomaso Poggio.  I joined the the Electrical and
Computer Engineering Department at the University of Florida (UF) in 1993. I
am currently an associate professor leading the

Signal Computation Group</A>
in researching biologically inspired circuits, architectures and
algorithms for signal processing.  The group is part of the <A
