Mohammed Sinky, Ph.D. student

Mohammed Sinky graduated from South Eugene High School in 1996 and began his college career at the University of Oregon in the field of computer science. Mohammed's interest in the inner-workings of the hardware that drives computer systems today sparked a minor change in his area of concentration towards computer engineering. Subsequently, he transferred to Oregon State University where he is now pursuing his PhD degree.

Mohammed earned his B.S. degree in 2001 from Oregon State University in computer engineering. In 2004, he obtained his M.S. degree in the same field with a focus on using digital arithmetic methods to improve performance of signal processing applications that rely on division. Mohammed is currently working on his PhD degree in electrical and computer engineering under the supervision of Dr. Ben Lee and would like to explore the impact of multicore architectures on embedded systems. Mohammed's research interests include: computer architecture, digital arithmetic, FPGAs, multiprocessor systems-on-chips, embedded systems, and multimedia.


Steen Larson, Ph.D.

Steen Larsen, Ph.D. student, received his BS and MS EE at OSU in 1999 and MST at OHSU 2003 before going back to engineering aspects of I/O communication in a PhD program to optimize platform I/O interconnect over PCIe and other fabrics. During much of the day Steen works at Intel Labs doing applied research in communications. Further information at http://tech-forge.com/
