Mark joined the Department of Electrical and Microelectronic
Engineering at RIT in 2012 as an adjunct professor, and as a
Lecturer in 2017. He teaches courses in circuit design, system
design, VLSI design, and system verification. Mark also
participates in the Multidisciplinary Senior Design program.
His areas of interest include analog, digital, and mixed-signal
circuit design, VLSI design, low power design, embedded systems,
systems engineering, signal processing for various applications
including professional audio and sensor conditioning, neuromorphic
computing and networks on chip (NoC).

As a practicing engineering, in 2009 Mark founded Tenrehte
Technologies with Jennifer Indovina (his daughter) and Carlos
Barrios (both RIT EE Alumni). Tenrehte designs and delivers
fully integrated product platforms for energy monitoring,
control, and management. Prior to Tenrehte, Mark was Chief
Technology Officer and a founder of Vivace Semiconductor,
a fabless semiconductor start-up company focused on providing
System-On-Chip (SoC) solutions for the growing digital
entertainment markets. Prior to Vivace, Mark was Vice
President of Engineering for Improv Systems, Inc., a
company which developed and licensed intellectual property
for digital signal processing including a proprietary DSP
architecture, development tools, DSP algorithms, and application
software. Prior to joining Improv Systems, Mark was the Director
of Engineering at Cadence Design Systems where he formed a new
business unit for Cadence focused on contract IC design. Before
Cadence Design Systems, Mark was a Principle Research Engineer
in the Applied Research department of Motorola working on strategic
mixed signal semiconductor devices and SoC solutions that paved
the way for exciting new wireless, battery powered communications
devices. During this time he was also an adjunct professor at
Florida Atlantic University where he taught classes in VLSI design,
logic design, and computer architecture. Mark was active in
obtaining NSF grants for projects assigned to the university,
and joint projects partially funded by Motorola. Prior to Motorola,
Mark was with Computer Consoles focused on the research and
development of various digital signaling processing based
sub-systems as part of a novel digital switch architecture.
While at Computer Consoles he designed one of the earliest
speaker independent speech recognition systems for automating
collect telephone calls. He started his engineering career at
Ashly Audio designing various products used in professional
sound reinforcement.

Mark currently has three patents US 9,438,492 ; US 9,197,949 ;
GB2499164), has authored numerous other patent applications,
technical papers, and is the co-author of an eBook on IC design.
He is a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
