Linda DeBrunner

Dr. Linda DeBrunner is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, Florida State University since 2006. Previously, she was a Professor at the University of Oklahoma (1990-2006). She holds a Ph.D. (1991), M.S. (1986), and B.E.E. (1984) from Virginia Tech and Auburn University, respectively.

Her research focuses on digital signal processing hardware, low-power implementations, and special-purpose digital systems. Notable projects include low-power DSP designs, multiplier optimization, and bridge displacement estimation using modal analysis. She has secured over $6 million in external funding from NSF, ONR, FHWA, and industry.

DeBrunner has published >50 refereed papers and serves on editorial boards (e.g., Journal of Circuits, Systems, and Computers) and conference committees (Asilomar). She received 'Favorite Professor' accolades twice and is a Senior IEEE Member.

Her work emphasizes FPGA-based systems, multiplier architectures, and real-time signal processing applications. Recent projects explore the discrete Hirschman transform for convolution optimization and bridge health monitoring via accelerometer data analysis.
