about me   


    Hi and welcome to Sumit's little nook on the web!

    For the uninitiated, the vital stats are up on the home page, and the name once again is Sumit Kishore. I was born and grew up in Patna, the capital and a cozy little city in the state of Bihar in India. I did my schooling at the St. Michael's High School. Following a further two years for my Intermediate in Science at the Science College, Patna, I made my way to the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, for a B. Tech. in Chemical Enginnering and for some of the most fun days of my life. The mural on the photograph to the right was, incidentally, painted by me, Sam and Lamboo during my stay in the Lala Lajpat Rai Hall of Residence there.

    I came over to the U.S. in the fall of '97 for an MS, also in ChemE, at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark. Did my thesis on the investigation of use of implanted deuterium to reduce the hot electron effect associated with the silicon oxide-silicon interface in thin-oxide CMOS devices. (I don't know if anyone would be crazy enough to want to check it out over the web, but if you are, my thesis is available right here as a pdf document). For the interested, my resumé can be viewed here.

    Following my graduation, I took up a job in Java & Oracle programming with ATI, a New Jersey-based consultancy firm, in 1999. The job took me to places like New Brunswick, Denver and San Jose and to clients like Qwest, Yopa and KLA Tencor. Presently I'm in San Jose, California, where I work for Prodapt Corp. and am on project for KLA Tencor. My address and info on reaching me can be found on the contact page.

    To dig a bit deeper about me, my family, friends and interests, you may want to check out my personal page.

    I hope you have a good time exploring my web page. And while you're at it, how about dropping a few words in my guestbook?

    A word of caution : I use my web page just as much to try out stuff as to stake out my presence on the web, so don't be surprised to find the odd link leading nowhere. And whatever you do, please don't follow this link.

    Happy surfing!
