Research:

I primarily work on asynchronous VLSI design and architecture. I am also interested in a number of other subjects including concurrency, formal methods, programming language semantics, information theory, and cognitive systems.

Teaching:

I am teaching CS 5432 (Physical Computing) in Spring 2013 at Cornell Tech.

I will be teaching CS 5460 (Parallel and Distributed Computing) in Fall 2013 at Cornell Tech.

My teaching over the years has been in the general area of computer systems.

In terms of why I teach classes the way I do, I like some of the opinions in EWD 1305.

At Cornell, I've received the Tau Beta Pi and Cornell Society of Engineers Excellence in Teaching Award (2000), the IEEE Teacher of the Year Award (2001), the Sonny Yau '72 Excellence in Teaching Award (2001), the Michael Tien '72 Excellence in Teaching Award (2004), the Ruth and Joel Spira Excellence in Teaching Award (2005, 2009), and the Kenneth A. Goldman '71 Excellence in Teaching Award (2012).

Personal:

You can find out a bit about me if you like. Here are some quotations, puzzles, and poems. Some local FreeBSD tweaks.

I founded Achronix Semiconductor Corporation, the multi-GHz FPGA company that is based on asynchronous FPGA technology developed by my research group (John Teifel's Ph.D. thesis). Please do not use my former Achronix email address (I won't get the message), as I am not affiliated with Achronix at this point.
