Dear Employer,

        I am interested in continuing my research and experience in 
computers and electromagnetics. My broad experience allows me to work 
in computer design, high frequency design, signal integrity, numerical 
electromagnetics, and physical electromagnetics.  While I attended Auburn 
University, I encountered numerous subjects, in courses and research, 
applicable to computers and electromagnetics.  


        As an undergraduate, I independently designed from scratch a
68000 microcomputer integrating a printer and an 8048 interfaced
keyboard.  I coded and used an operating system in 68000 assembly using
two 32K x 8 EPROM chips and an assembler developed at Auburn.  Shortly
after, I became interested in electromagnetics.  I started working for
two professors:  Dr. Roppel in Microwave Plasma Disk processing of
integrated circuits and Dr. Riggs in numerical electromagnetics.  I
continued research with Dr. Riggs for my M.S.

        My research in electromagnetics was focused toward
Transmission-Line Matrix (TLM) modeling, a general Maxwell's equation
solver based in the time-domain.  The generality allowed many different
problems to be solved.  For example, the same program modeled currents
induced on a satellite facility and input impedance of a microstrip
radiating into a waveguide.  Several studies at Auburn concerned
microstrip radiation, crosstalk, and impedance.  The technique can be
applied to chip packaging as well.

        My graduate courses continued my experience in computers from
chip-level to system-level design.  I designed a ring oscillator using
Mentor Graphics Design Tools and fabricated a wafer using the NMOS
process available at Auburn.  The thick and thin film hybrid processes I
studied yielded much insight into manufacturing problems.  I studied
system level computer design under Dr. Nelson and worked with Mentor
Graphics Design Tools to establish a replacement to MAGIC and other
chip-level design tools used at Auburn.

        Several areas I studied were not directly related to my thesis
but presented new directions for research and work.  I examined noise
analysis in high-frequency circuits for Communications Receivers and
signal detection in the presence of noise for Detection, Estimation, and
Modulation Theory 1.  These courses revealed many out-of-sight problems
in noise analysis and computer design.

        I look forward to further discussing your needs and how my
experience and abilities will assist in those endeavors.





                                                Sincerely,

                                                Paul R. Hayes
