My Research

I am continuing my PhD. research in the area of dynamic analysis of Domain Reference Architectures. I work with the Laboratory for Intelligent Processes and Systems at the University of Texas at Austin. I am also employed full time at the Motorola Embedded Platform Systems technology center as a software engineer.
