Brian Mears has a Ph.D. from City University, London. He worked in the computer industry in the U.K., at CERN in Geneva, at Bell Labs designing integrated circuits for audio compression, and at Intel Corporation for 29 years where he was a silicon architect and manager for embedded 32-bit microcontrollers, multi-core digital signal processors, and smartphone SoCs. His experience with complex SoC chip design led him to employ modeling and simulation techniques for silicon architecture design and software development. Retired from Intel Corporation he is currently an adjunct faculty member at Arizona State University researching design techniques and tools for architecture design. See less
