Biography
B.S. with Honors, Computer Engineering, University of Illinois, December 2002
M.S., Electrical Engineering, University of Illinois, August 2005
James started his Undergraduate work at the U of I in 1998. During the spring and summer of 2001, he worked at Intel performing software testing and test plan development for an integrated graphics chipset driver.

James then joined the IMPACT research group the following summer (2002) as an undergraduate research assistant. He has worked on various projects including 64-bit instruction emulation in IMPACT, front-end SSA library development and the addition of partial flow-sensitivity to IMPACT's pointer analysis module.

James will be graduating in August of 2005 with his MS, and will be looking for jobs in the areas of microarchitecture, compilers, systems, and/or hardware/ASIC design.
