Evans on Technical Advisory Board for Texas Instruments Developer's Conference

Prof. Brian L. Evans, a WNCG faculty member, served on the technical advisory board for the 2004 Texas Instruments (TI) Developer's Conference, February 18 - 20 in Houston, Texas. The advisory board met via conference call on more than ten occasions to plan the technical content of the conference. Prof. Evans is the only professor to serve on the board.

The TI Developer Conference provides networking opportunities with experts, must-have technical learning, and peer-to-peer interaction for embedded developers, aimed at both novice and expert-level designers. Topics included in this year's proceedings were solutions on audio, control, security, telecom, and video/imaging applications; hardware, software, and tools; signal processing applications; and partner-specific sessions for university and third party delegates.

In addition to serving as a technical advisor, Prof. Evans presented a talk entitled "Modem Design, Implementation, and Testing Using NI's LabVIEW." He also participated in the ask-the-experts program, where he fielded questions on voiceband and ADSL modem design and DSP Education.

Prof. Evans took three of his graduate students with him to the forum: Serene Banerjee, Ming Ding, and Vishal Monga. Ming Ding has worked as a summer intern at TI for the past three years.

Six of Prof. Ted Rappaport's students were also in attendance.
