Personal Information

Dr. Gregory B. Lush, P.E.Gregory Benedict Lush was born 16 January 1963 in Mountain View, California among the orchards of the lush California Valley. He attended Palo Alto High School in Palo Alto, California and graduated in 1981. As the orchards were being replaced by fields of semiconductor plants, Mr. Lush escaped east to bless the University of Notre Dame with his presence. "Go to Indiana," they said; "See the world," they said.


After Graduating as a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering in May 1985, Mr. Lush decided to continue pursue his dual degree in EE and in Hoosierism by attending Purdue University to study semiconductors and the malleability of man. Mr. Lush attained the degree of Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering at Purdue University in December 1987 while discovering that Hoosierism is the Belief in Being Kind to Fellow Man.

Mr. Lush was doctored in 1992 after compiling a dissertation on recombination in n-type GaAs -- a subject of great import that no one speaks of it.

Dr. Lush has enjoyed teaching at UTEP since September 1993 (which fortuitously coincides with his arrival here)

Future Plans include writing a children's book and fixing the World, while occasionally dabbling in electrical engineering before retiring (early!) to write a cookbook (his memoirs).
