Bryan PreasBryan PreasI am a Principal Scientists in the Computer Science Lab (CSL) at Xerox PARC. PARC is one of the three research centers within Xerox, The Document Company. CSL is one of three laboratories at PARC that do computational research. CSL's research covers hardware architecture, networks, multimedia hardware and infrastructure, programming environments, high-performance printing and copying, collaborative multimedia, computer science theory, mobile hardware, and ubiquitous computing.
I am working in the areas of ATM communications, electronic design automation, and rapid prototyping.
The list of my publications is not too out of date.
I am general chair for the 32nd Design Automation Conference and a member of the Advisory Board of SIGDA, the ACM technical society for Design Automation professionals. I am one of the two co-directors of the SIGDA Publications on CD-ROM project. I am on the organizing committee of the International Low Power Design Symposium and the EuroDAC Conference and on the Program Committee of several conferences.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife Kathy, (kathy@cse.psu.edu). She is a CDROM developer specializing in conference proceedings and technical documentation.
I received my Bachelors degree from Texas A&M University, my Masters degree from Carnegie-Mellon University, and my Ph. D. from Stanford University. All in Electrical Engineering.
Previously, I have worked at AT&T Bell Laboratories, Whippany, New Jersey, at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and at VR Information Systems in Austin, Texas. I was a Humboldt Fellow at Universität-GH Paderborn, Paderborn, Germany.
I enjoy sailing, bicycling, woodworking, astronomy, ham radio (call sign: AC6JT), and photography. Kathy and I are restoring an old house (built 1903). Only two rooms to go.
I maintain a list of Web sites that I find interesting and useful:
