• Dr. James O. Hamblen

  a professor in the computer engineering area

  joined the Georgia Tech Faculty in 1984 after graduating with his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Georgia Tech. His other degrees include an M.S.E.E. from Purdue University and a B.E.E. from Georgia Tech.\nPrior to returning to Georgia Tech to work on his Ph.D.

  he worked several years in industry. While working on his M.S.E.E. degree he was employed by Wescom Inc. in Chicago

  Illinois where he worked on the design of a fault-tolerant multiprocessor PBX system. Subsequently

  he worked as a systems analyst for Texas Instruments in Austin

  Texas

  and as a senior engineer for Martin Marietta Corporation in Denver

  Colorado. At Texas Instruments

  he was involved in the design of the TMS9900 microprocessor development system. The TMS9900 was one the world’s first 16-bit microprocessors. At Martin Marietta

  he was a senior engineer in the software research and development section where he worked on computer systems for satellites and spacecraft. In 1999

  he was a visiting faculty member at Intel in Phoenix

  AZ. He teaches courses in digital hardware

  computer architecture

  operating systems

  and embedded systems design. At Georgia Tech

  Professor Hamblen has taught over six thousand students in his classes

  and he has obtained several million dollars of equipment donations and grants from industry to help equip the computer engineering instructional laboratories. Professor Hamblen's current research interests include rapid prototyping with FPGAs

  embedded systems

  computer architecture
