Dave Hendrickson has been teaching Computer Architecture and Assembly Language Programming courses for over thirty years (currently CS472, but CS272 and CS572 in the past). He has spent almost all of his distinguished professional career in the intersection between hardware and the low-level software that controls it, ranging from Input/Output Controller firmware to the embedded software that controls industry-leading ultrasound machines.
A true Renaissance man, Hendrickson has published seven novels (including two that have been selected for high school required reading), four short story collections, and two nonfiction books. His story “Death in the Serengeti” won the Short Mystery Fiction Society’s Best Long Story Award and was published in the prestigious Best American Mystery Stories 2018.
His sports writing has also been honored with the Joe Concannon Hockey East Media Award and the Murray Kramer Scarlet Quill Award.
He doesn’t watch much TV.
