M.S.E.E. From the University of Washington, Seattle (USA) seeks position
related to one or more of the following (June graduate):
Computer Architecture
Parallel Processing
Fault-tolerant Computer Architecture
Computer Communications Networks
I'm open to relocate ANYWHERE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a graduate student at the University of Washington in Seattle (USA),
specializing in computer architecture, parallel processing, and
computer communications networks. I expect to obtain my M.S. degree
in electrical engineering in June of this year. I am very interested
in attaining a position in one or more of the above areas. I am open to
relocate anywhere in the USA or europe.
After the completion of my undergraduate studies, I chose to join the
electrical engineering department's FTCL (Fault-Tolerant Computing
Laboratory) at the University of Washington. The FTCL is under the
direction of Arun K. Somani, who is an active researcher in this field.
As an example, a high-performance fault-tolerant 256 processor parallel
computer is being developed for image processing applications using
a hypercube topology.
In short, the last few years of my education have been very research
oriented. I have elected to do projects that have helped me gain
experience in going from the theoretical development of a system or
device to the actual implementation of a physical prototype. For
example, as an undergraduate I worked on a project team led by an
instructor, in which we developed a VLSI design automation system for custom
high-performance Schmitt triggers used in VLSI circuits. More recently,
I have developed an instruction set co-processor for vector oriented
floating-point arithmetic. In addition, I have also worked for IBM in
a development department concerning a multi-processor computer system
(summer co-op position). I believe the practical experience I have
gained from the projects I have undertaken, as well as my strong
theoretical background, have created a solid foundation for the future
research and development career I desire.
Thanks very much for taking the time to read this, and I hope to hear
from you soon. Please note: although my degree is in electrical engineering,
I have also had extensive programming experience, from real-time
programming to the development of SPICE-like circuit simulation programs.

Sincerely,

RESUME
------
OBJECTIVE
Design/development position related to computer architecture,
fault-tolerant computer architecture, or parallel computer
systems.
EDUCATION
* UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Seattle, WA. Sept.1989-Present
Candidate for M.S. degree in electrical engineering expected in
June, 1991. Research Area: Computer architecture/parallel
processing.
GPA: 3.7/4.0 (Cumulative)
* PORTLAND STATE UNIVERSITY, Portland, OR. Sept.1984-Aug.1989
B.S. degree in electrical engineering received in Aug. 1989.
Additional coursework in computer science and solid-state physics.
GPA: 3.5/4.0 (Major) 3.3/4.0 (Cumulative)
WORK EXPERIENCE
* IBM PRE-PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER June 1990 - Sept.1990
Worked in a microcode development department where I was responsible
for the code development of a rather substantial portion of a
pseudo-random exerciser for a high-end multiprocessor computer
system.
* RESEARCH ASSISTANT (University of Washington) Oct.1990 - June 1991
Assisting professor Arun K. Somani in research relating to the
development of computer-aided tools for fault management of computer
communications networks.
* RESEARCHER FOR APPLE COMPUTER CONSULTANT Fall, 1988
Collected information, and assisted in the organization of the
engineering section of Apple's CD ROM academic software demo.
PROJECTS
* 32-BIT ASIP FLOATING-POINT VECTOR CO-PROCESSOR
Developed an application specific instruction set processor for
32-bit floating-point arithmetic on n element vectors as well as
scalar values. A subset of the IEEE-754 standard is employed.
Having powerful vector operations on a co-processor such as this
will increase the performance of application programs that make
heavy use of vector based calculations. (University of Washington)
* VIRTUAL MEMORY - MULTI-PROGRAMMED OPERATING SYSTEM
Enhanced a bare bones operating system to include features such as:
I/O and job execution operate concurrently, virtual memory, and
multiprogramming. This project used C++ on top of a multi-thread
programming environment. (University of Washington)
* AUTOMATED DESIGN AND LAYOUT OF CUSTOM SCHMITT TRIGGERS FOR USE IN
VLSI CIRCUITS
Selected as one of seven students, out of a class of fifty, to work
with our instructor to develop a VLSI design automation system. This
system, when given the specifications of a desired custom Schmitt
Trigger, will automatically design, test, and generate the layout of
the device. The system will adjust itself to varying technologies.
