    First Place Team:

    Cash Prize of $1000 each.

    Team: Foo

    Team Member:Matthew Guthaus 
    Advisor:  Richard Brown
    University:  The University of Michigan
    Matthew R. Guthaus received his BSE in Computer Engineering and MSE in Electrical Engineering from The University of Michigan in 1998 and 2000, respectively. He is currently a Ph.D. Candidate in Electrical Engineering at The University of Michigan working for Prof. Richard Brown. During his Master's degree, he designed and tested a mixed-signal, 8-bit microcontroller for sensor and actuator applications. His research interests include low-power architecture for embedded systems, algorithm specific microprocessors, and computer-aided design of integrated circuits. His dissertation is on the optimization of standard cell libraries through placement, sizing, and technology mapping.
    Team Member: DoRon Motter 
    Advisor:  Igor Markov
    University:  The University of Michigan
    DoRon Motter is a Ph.D pre-candidate at the University of Michigan. He received his M.S.E. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Michigan in May 2002. His graduate research has been focused on algorithms for satisfiability and applications, under Prof. Igor Markov. In addition he is a member of the quantum circuits group at the University of Michigan. DoRon received my B.S. in Computer Engineering from the University of Florida (with highest honors) in August 2000 along with minors in mathematics and physics.

    Honorable Mention:

    Cash Prize of $500 each.
