I Have Moved...

As of July 2004, I have moved to the ECE dept. in the COE at FSU. My new contact information there is:
Michael Frank, Assistant Professor
Dept. of Electrical & Computer Eng.
FAMU-FSU College of Engineering
2525 Pottsdamer St. Rm. 341
Tallahassee, FL 32310
mpf@eng.fsu.edu, (850) 410-6463
cell: (850) 597-2046
At the moment, my web content is still being hosted mostly at UF, but over time it will be migrated to my new site at FSU.

Mom wanted my hands to be in the picture Hi there! Welcome to the home page of Dr. Michael P. Frank, Ph.D. You can call me Mike. I'm a fairly new (started August 1999) tenure-track faculty member (still at the assistant professor level) here at UF's CISE department in the College of Engineering.  As of July 2001, I am also an affiliate assistant professor in the ECE department, where I collaborate with the electronic circuits group, among others.  I teach several courses in CISE, and my primary research interests are in the areas of fundamental limits, technologies, & infrastructures for efficient parallel and/or distributed computing.

I'm also a Gainesville-area native, with a family history in Alachua county going back at least five generations, and including many UF alums. If you want to read more about me, you can check out my previous home page that I maintained as a graduate student and postdoctoral researcher at the MIT AI Lab. You can also use the navigation bar at the left to see various more current important info.
 

Do you ?


Dr. Frank also spent one of his early formative years in a Visiting Scholar position at UF's Educational Research Center for Child Development. In this file photo, circa 1974, we see him exploring the key conceptual foundations of peg-hole correspondence theory, while simultaneously conducting empirical investigations of the frictional coefficients of cellulose.
