Biography
Bram spent the first five years of his career in the hard disk drive industry. In graduate school he focused on computer architecture and developed a system for reconstructing 3D ultrasound images from 2D image sequences. Since joining MERL, Bram has worked in areas ranging from wireless sensor networks, optical metrology, NC machines, and control. Recently, he has focused primarily on the computational aspects of advanced control algorithms for embedded control systems and design automation for embedded systems. In addition to research, he likes to keep his EE skills sharp by designing and building instrumentation for his and others' experiments, and he can often be found in the machine shop running the CNC mill or the lathe.
