Summary
Eric Hamdan is a Senior Signal Processing Engineer with a Ph.D. in virtual acoustics and 13 years of experience building real-time audio, acoustics, and embedded systems. He combines academic rigor with hands-on FPGA and VHDL development—shipping multichannel audio protocols, SPI-like inter-FPGA links, and MicroBlaze-based soft-processor designs for very high channel-count streaming. His work spans algorithm design (beamforming, crosstalk cancellation) to implementation in C, Python, Max/MSP and hardware, including field-tested sonic projection prototypes for DoD SBIR programs. At startups and research labs he’s led teams and delivered cash-positive milestones while maintaining tight technical ownership of critical modules. He also publishes and documents independent projects on fpgadsp.dev, reflecting a habit of turning research prototypes into reproducible engineering artifacts. Based in the United States, he brings a rare blend of virtual acoustics research and production-grade FPGA expertise to complex audio systems.
