Professor Bob Stewart


Bob Stewart has extensive experience presenting industry DSP courses in the USA, Canada, in Europe, and also at on-site company locations. The courses presented have been carefully designed and fine-tuned over recent years and are presented to very high and exacting educational standards. Therefore we strongly believe that the wide industrial experience of the course presenter, and the extensive materials made available allow us to offer an excellent DSP course that will take participants from introductory fundamental DSP concepts to advanced DSP mobile communication system design within a few days.  Bob Stewart is also the presenter of the European DSP Foundation Course which, since their inception in 1994, have been presented to more than 700 attendees in Europe and the USA.

Professor Bob Stewart is currently faculty in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde, UK. Prior to joining University of Strathclyde, Dr Stewart was a visiting Professor in Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Minnesota in 1990, and a visiting scholar at the University of Southern California in 1986/7. Since 1997 he has been a part-time Visiting Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. In 1998/99 Bob was working on a Royal Academy of Engineering Industrial Secondment scheme with Entegra Ltd, and its customers.

Bob Stewart’s general research interests are in the areas of adaptive signal processing and digital audio and acoustics. Current research projects in Professor Stewart’s research group include work on adaptive channel equalisation, adaptive receiver techniques for multiuser communications (CDMA), oversampling strategies for sigma delta ASICs, subband strategies for acoustic echo control, multimedia integration of DSP educational tools and LPC strategies for speech coding.  Current work is funded by a number of companies and agencies including, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, Motorola, Entegra, and the Defense Research Agency.

Over the last 10 years Professor Stewart has published more than 70 technical papers and is the author and designer of the DSPedia CDROM. Professor Stewart is a Chartered Engineer, and a member of the IEEE, the IEE, the Audio Engineering Society, and the British Society for Audiology. He is also an officer of the EURASIP ADCOM committee, and member of IEE Professional Group E5. http://www.eee.strath.ac.uk/r.w.stewart
