Faculty in Hats
Helpful tip for new graduate students: a funny hat goes a long way to making professors less threatening.

Group Shot
One picture of the whole group of Berkeley RAMP researchers.
To see them from the other side either 1) turn around, or 2) see the next picture.
|
 |
Another Group Shot
In case you didn't see your favorite researcher in the previous picture try this one.
Hopefully we're not the only ones feeling like there should be some kind of vote-them-off-the-project system going on here.
|
 |
Final Group Shot
The final group picture.
We really mean it.
We're done now.

Krasnov and Greg "RDL" Gibeling, the only men foolish enough to assemble 700lbs of BEE2s
at midnight before the demo.

RDL Demo
Greg "RDL" Gibeling standing behind his most recent mini-demo: a Xilinx XUP connected to
an Altera DE2 board running the canonical RDL counter example. He's probably explaining
something that would hurt your brain, in fairness it probably hurts his too.
