Electrical and Computer Engineering Alums 
Current or prospective students in the Electrical and Computer Engineering program are welcome to email these alums for more information about their work or their education at UNH.
Please note: the purpose of this exchange is to answer questions about career and educational experiences--not to provide assistance with science projects, research, or other issues.
Andrew Kun, B.S. 1992, M.S. 1994, Ph.D. 1997
Assistant Professor, UNH Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Durham, N.H.
After receiving his Ph.D., Andrew Kun started working as a development engineer at Falmouth Scientific, a small oceanographic instrumentation company on Cape Cod.
The job included hardware and firmware design and helped him learn how to transform an idea into a product that would sell.
The job also gave him a firsthand view of how small businesses operate. After almost two years in industry, Andrew decided to return to the academic world.
As an assitant professor at UNH, he is involved in teaching as well as research in robotics, learning systems, and computer engineering.

Teresa Gschwind, B.S. 1989
Manager of Applications Engineering, Datacube, Danvers, Mass.
Right after graduation, Teresa Gschwind joined Datacube, a company that produces high-performance image-processing boards.
She has worked in a number of different divisions of the company, including Quality Control, Customer Support, International Field Applications
(lots of interesting travel outside North America), and Software Development (both as a developer and product manager).
Now the manager of Applications Engineering, she supervises eight people. Since daughter Anna was born in June, Teri has been working at home two days a week.
She has enjoyed working at Datacube because "whenever I have felt that I stopped learning, I was able to find a new job within the company."
She has worked with UNH alums both as customers and co-workers.
At one point there were seven alums in the company, including founder Stan Karandanis EE '57.
Teri considers her UNH EE degree "perfect training" for her various jobs at Datacube:
"Our products are hardware-intensive, and my jobs here have all been in software.
You write software all day, but you can't be afraid of using an oscilloscope or logic analyzer to debug a problem."

Erich Whitney, B.S. 1987; M.S. 1990
Electrical Engineer, Axiowave Networks, Marlborough, Mass.
After he graduated from UNH, Erich went to work for Datacube in Peabody, Mass.
Since he had worked with Datacube equipment in graduate school at UNH, the job made a good transition from school to work.
He worked in applications for a few months before transferring into hardware design.
In 1997 Erich took a job with Synopsys in Burlington, Mass., where he was a consultant before moving into the corporate applications group,
based in Mountain View, Calif. Rather than moving out to "the valley," he set up a home office and worked via phone, fax, and computer.
He spent about one week a month in Calif. In November of 2000, he took a job with Axiowave Networks of Marlborough, Mass.
He works in the hardware design group applying his skills to a wide variety of design tasks.
The photo shows Erich with his daughter, Brenna Elizabeth, at age 9 months.
He reports, "I haven't done anything in my life more rewarding than becoming a father."
