About Me

Who am I?

My whipping name is Brian Degnan, but am known by degs. I'm a research assistant under Dr. Paul Hasler in the CADSP group. I also work in some capacity for Dr. David Anderson and Dr. Vincent Mooney. My research is generally related to the application of analog-minded digital design. I hope to one day have a faculty position somewhere, assuming that I'm not coerced by my entrepenureal whims. Unless, of course, I could be the ambassador to Japan; I find that to be very conceptually fascinating. Oh, and my résumé of sorts.

I also have designed or contributed to the PocketPico picoammeter and the Soneter flowmeter.
