David V. Anderson

Analog and digital signal processing, VLSI

Professor David Anderson notes that nature has already developed low-power, compact computing systems biologically in the form of animals' keen senses.

With the natural world as inspiration for algorithms and implementation, he is involved with interdisciplinary activities of signal processing with analog neuromorphic VLSI technology. Analog circuits provide a new medium for the investigation of advanced types of processing using very small, low-power systems.

One of Georgia Tech's leading researchers on the analog side of mixed-signal processing, Anderson has established an international reputation for his innovative and creative approaches.

Anderson works closely with Professor Paul Hasler, whose floating gate analog circuits add the critical features of programmability and memory to analog circuits.

The ultimate aim of Anderson and his research team is to develop the technology leading to high-capacity advanced processing in mobile devices -- compact, low-power, intelligent circuits that could be used in everything from cell phones to surveillance equipment; from watches with speech recognition capability to hearing aids that automatically adjust to the sound environment.

Anderson's work has led to several patents related to audio signal processing as well as the commercialization of a system for removing noise from phone and conference calls.

At Georgia Tech, he is an assistant professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and is affiliated with the school's Computer Engineering and Digital Signal Processing Groups.

Anderson is the recipient of the NSF Faculty Early Career (CAREER) Award and, in 2005, he was awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) by the White House. Anderson has also published over 100 technical publications and has 7 patents or patents pending.

A graduate of Brigham Young University, where he earned undergraduate and master's degrees in electrical engineering, Anderson is also an alumnus of Georgia Tech, where he received his PhD.
