Bevan Baas, Navajo, is an Associate Professor at the University of California, Davis in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Dr. Baas studied two years at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, CA, and then completed his bachelor’s in Electronic Engineering at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. He worked at Hewlett-Packard (HP) Computer Systems Division for two and a half years, and then began graduate school at Stanford University where he completed his master’s and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering. After completing his Ph.D., he joined Atheros Communications as the second full-time employee after the founders and served as a core member of the team which developed the first IEEE 802.11a Wi-Fi wireless LAN solution. In 2003, he joined UC Davis where he supervises research for over 10 graduate students in the areas of algorithms, architectures, circuits, and VLSI design for high-performance, energy-efficient, and area-efficient computation. His research group has developed the 36-processor AsAP1 and 1.2 GHz 167-processor AsAP2 chips which are believed to be the highest clock rate processors designed in any university.
