Glen Abousleman

Glen Abousleman, Ph.D. – Dr. Abousleman has 30 years of experience in the research, development, and implementation of wireless communications and video compression/ exploitation algorithms and systems. Since joining General Dynamics (formally Motorola) in 1995, Dr. Abousleman has served as Principal Investigator (PI)/Project Leader (PL) on numerous exploitation, compression, and communications projects, and has created and developed five product lines, which include the ReachbackTM Iridium® Inverse Multiplexor, SelectFocusTM Video Compression and Exploitation Algorithm Suite, VideoBANDITTM Compression and Exploitation Algorithm Suite, Universal Applications Product Miniature Network Appliance, and Video Compression and Exploitation Network Application embedded software.

Dr. Abousleman received the Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees from The University of New Mexico in 1988 and 1990, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree from The University of Arizona in 1994, all in Electrical Engineering. Dr. Abousleman worked as a Software Engineer and as an Analog Design Engineer for Honeywell, Defense Avionics Systems Division, Albuquerque, NM, from 1987-1988. In 1994, he joined the Satellite Communications Group at Hughes, Space and Communications, in El Segundo, CA, where he worked on satellite-based mobile communication systems. In 1995, he joined the Speech and Signal Processing Laboratory at Motorola, Integrated Information Systems Group, in Scottsdale, AZ, where he worked on vocoder and image/video coder research and development. Currently, Dr. Abousleman is a Senior Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff and the Director of the Tactical Algorithms Laboratory at General Dynamics Mission Systems in Scottsdale, AZ. Additionally, he is an Adjunct Professor with the Electrical Engineering Dept. at Arizona State University, where he teaches numerous graduate and undergraduate courses in the areas of Digital Signal/Image Processing and Communications. Dr. Abousleman has published over 120 peer-reviewed technical articles in the areas of image/video processing/compression and wireless communications, has written a chapter for a book on Hyperspectral Image Compression, and has 16 issued patents. His research interests include image/video compression and processing, wireless communication systems, satellite communications, and embedded processing. Dr. Abousleman is a reviewer for nine IEEE and OE journals, and is a member of IEEE and Eta Kappa Nu.
