Nick Zayed Nick Zayed (hzayed@zappa.ece.cmu.edu) received the B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1989. From 1989 to 1992, he was employed by IBM (San Jose, California) where he became involved in the design of mixed-signal ICs for use in IBM's disk drive products. In 1994, he received the M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Notre Dame. His master's thesis focused on the implementation of a nonlinear filter as an analog integrated circuit. The filter was used for removing noise from image data. Currently, he is working towards a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering. His emphasis has switched towards signal processing systems and he is focused on devising equalization and detection schemes for very high-density magnetic recording channels. He is being advised by Professor L. Richard Carley. Click here for Nick's page
