<p>My name is Dennis. Although I am Dutch, I am currently living in Germany where I am studying electrical engineering & computer science (EECS) at RWTH Aachen University. I am hoping to have attained my masters degree by the end of this year. Technological innovations have always roused my curiosity and excitement. Because I wanted to be able to develop these novel technologies myself, I decided to enroll EECS a few years ago. Since I had been programming before and thus possessed a rough understanding of computer architectures, it was important to me that my field of study would also include electrical engineering. In that way I would be able to acquire a proper understanding of computers from the lowest level—i.e. the bare integrated circuits—to the highest—i.e. user space—, and everything in between.
