What’s been happening:

I have been living here in "Silicon Valley" outside San Francisco since I graduated from Penn State. I'm still employed at Intel where I've been involved with silicon technology devel., process & device modeling, and product yield engineering, all focused on microprocessor and flash memory technologies & products. For a brief period in the early part of this decade I was also involved in M&A manufacturing integration. At present I manage an Engineering & Operations group with responsibilities in the areas of component devel. and manufacturing at outsourced silicon foundry suppliers. I also gained some academic experience when I spent three years on the faculty of my UG institution, IIT Delhi, in the late '90s. My wife Carmel is from Ireland, and we have two daughters still in school. I enjoy traveling and have visited about twenty countries so far, so the half century mark does not appear too difficult to achieve!
