Ron Maharik | UBC

Welcome

I graduated from the University of British Columbia's Department of Computer Science in November 2011. I was a member of the Imager lab and a student of Alla Sheffer.

Teaching

• 2009 Winter term 2: Introduction to Computer Systems (CPSC 213)
• 2009 Winter term 1: Computer Architecture and Operating Systems (CPSC 313)

Thanks to those students who provided feedback on my teaching and won me a Graduate TA Award for 2009!
I really enjoyed our meetings, and hope you gained some useful insights from the class.

Previous work

Before coming to UBC, I was a research staff member at IBM's Haifa Research Lab, specializing in automatic test generation for CPU verification and floating-point arithmetic.
