Hello, my name is Eric Monahan. Welcome to my CMOSedu page! Those are my Black Lab mixes, Luna (left) and
Sasha (right) during one of our frequent walks through the desert.
I completed my Master of Science in Electrical Engineering at UNLV
in the Fall of 2018 under Dr. Baker. This followed the completion of my
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering at UNLV in the Spring of 2017. I
worked for Dr. Baker as a Research Assistant for over two years performing IC
design and testing for various projects. My duties included IC design using
Cadence EDA tools, PCB design, IC testing, and proper documentation of all
aspects of the related research. The culmination of my graduate career and
research was presented in my thesis, High
Speed Fast Transient Digitizer Design and Simulation. The photos of Dr.
Baker and I below were taken the day of my thesis defense, November 16, 2018. I
will always be grateful to Dr. Baker for his generosity and patience as a
mentor and friend.
I am including a photo of my wife, Wendy, and I below because she
deserves to be credited for the success I have earned during my time at UNLV.
The sacrifices she made so I could pursue my dream are innumerable and I am
eternally grateful and thankful for her. Her unwavering support and faith in me
are the catalyst for my successes.

Dr. Baker during my time at UNLV are included below:

My design team won the Grand Prize at UNLV's 2017 Spring
Senior Design Competition in a competition including 31 undergraduate teams
from all engineering disciplines. The links below include a synopsis of the
competition and a video of our prototype.
