Joey

Here's all of the stuff you always wished that you knew about me, like my favorite toothpaste (Crest) or how to email me.

The Basics

I live in Santa Clara with my wife, Cassie, and our two cats, Bert and Sherlock. We do some travelling amongst other things.I'm originally from Healdsburg, CA, the land of wine, tourists and plazaball. In the not so distant past I graduated from the UC Berkeley. While I was there I worked at ERG Aerospace, did bionanophotonics in the BioPOEMS lab, and learned to make a mean calzone to serve 40 people at Andres Castro Arms.I attend grad school at Stanford and am studying Mechanical Engineering. I work in the Microsystems Lab and play with cells all day. I have another website for school stuff.Every now and then I brew some beer and enjoy plowing through a new book every few weeks. Here's my resume if you're really interested.You can see my Google calendar here.

My Goals

The gauntlet has been thrown down by my other half and here are the goals she suggests I work towards to justify academic life.

Enable instantaneous travel throughout the Earth; the rest of the planets come later
First, terraform other nearby extrasolar planets to simulate Earth-like conditions. Second, increase the speed of interplanetary travel to enable practical colonization
Improve upon stem cell differentation and growth techniques until humans can live until they wish to die
