Bio sketch

I am currently a PhD candidate at [http://www.purdue.edu Purdue University] in [https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECE/ Electrical and Computer Engineering]. My research involves multi-scale Order Statistic Constant False-Alarm Rate (OS-CFAR) radar detection for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) applications. My other research interests include:

  • Digital Signal and Image Processing
  • Digital Communications
  • Information Theory
  • Detection and Estimation Theory

I am also a Senior Member of the Technical Staff at my place of employment.

Ubuntu Interests

I have been using Linux in general since 1993, Debian for several years, and Ubuntu since its beginning. I first heard about it, back when its web page was still [http://www.no-name-yet.com], from hanging out in #gnome-debian on irc.gimp.org. That's also where I first interacted with people like jdub and seb128.

I have been very active on IRC in #ubuntu, trying to be as helpful as I can. I have also been in involved in the following bugs in one way or another:

  • 5519, 5566, 5853, 5940, 6804

I tried [http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/ matplotlib] as a tool in my research, and since it wasn't packaged in ubuntu, I offered it to the community in #ubuntu-love. Daniel Holback invited me to #ubuntu-motu, and I am currently pursuing a more active involvement on an MOTU team. python-matplotlib is available for review, and can be found in my [http://mip-lab4.ecn.purdue.edu/~rimbert/ubuntu/ repository].

My wife Anne enjoys cooking, so I packaged up [http://krecipes.sourceforge.net/ krecipes] and [http://grecipe-manager.sourceforge.net/ Gourmet Recipe Manager] for her. These packages are also available in my [http://mip-lab4.ecn.purdue.edu/~rimbert/ubuntu/ repository].
