Vita

Dr. Brian L. Evans is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, and holds the Robert and Jane Mitchell Faculty Fellowship in Engineering. Prof. Evans' research efforts are in embedded real-time digital signal processing systems. His research group derives application performance bounds and optimal algorithms to achieve those bounds, as well as near-optimal low-complexity algorithms and embedded prototypes. In signal processing, his group researches multicarrier communication systems for high-speed Internet access. In multicarrier communication systems, his group's contributions include the first linear complexity algorithm that allocates resources for optimal bit rates in multiuser OFDM basestations and is realizable in fixed-point hardware/software, as well as the first ADSL equalizer training method that maximizes a measure of the bit rate and is realizable in real-time fixed-point software. In image processing, his group researches high-quality halftoning for desktop printers and perceptual image hashing. for image databases and multimedia authentication. In imaging, his group's primary contribution is in the design, analysis, and quality assessment of halftoning by error diffusion for real-time processing by printer pipelines. Prof. Evans has published over 180 refereed conference and journal papers.

Dr. Evans is the primary architect of the Signals and Systems Pack for Mathematica, which was on the market from October 1995 to June 2008. He was a key contributor to UC Berkeley's Ptolemy Classic electronic design automation environment for embedded systems, which has been successfully commercialized by Agilent and Cadence. He developed and currently teaches two graduate courses, Multidimensional Digital Signal Processing. and Embedded Software Systems, and two undergraduate courses, Real-Time Digital Signal Processing Laboratory, and Linear Systems and Signals, in order to help train undergraduate and graduate students in the theory, algorithms, design, and implementation of signal and image processing systems.

His B.S.E.E.C.S. (1987) degree is from the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, and his M.S.E.E. (1988) and Ph.D.E.E. (1993) degrees are from the Georgia Institute of Technology. From 1993 to 1996, he was a post-doctoral researcher in the Ptolemy project at UC Berkeley. He is an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, a member of the Design and Implementation of Signal Processing Systems Technical Committee, of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, and a Senior Member of the IEEE. He joined the faculty at UT Austin in fall 1996. He is the recipient of a 1997 US National Science Foundation CAREER Award.
