MAJOR PROJECTS     Global Router based on Steiner-Min-Max Tree, implemented
--------------     this routing algoritm in UNIX/C. This router uses the steiner 
                   min-max tree to model the multiterminal nets in a gate array 
                   environment.
                           
                   MISER, implemented the Compaction part of this three 
                   layer channel routing package UNIX/C. MISER uses an integrated
                   approach to channel routing and compaction problems.
                                                                   
                   High Performance FPGA Router, implemented this router
                   in UNIX/C under X-window system. This package consists of
                   an FPGA router specially designed for high performance 
                   applications for a new channel segmentation model.
