The only prof in the entire EngineeringDepartment who understands MatLab. Very involved with rock climbing. Went to MIT. His email sign-off is "happy hacking".
Also, considered a deity in the EE world for his work on asynchronous design. Really. That book in his office is considered the Bible for that field.
It should be noted that "hacking" has a very different connotation at MIT than it does here at Harvey Mudd. Hacking to MIT students is basically the equivalent of pranking at Mudd. The school is slightly less tolerant, but their BigPrank's are way cooler than ours. Unless he's actually an anarchist. -BenjAzose
