To celebrate the CCR's 21st anniversary, a public lecture by visiting Professor David Burrows, entitled, 'Freeing the imagination in communications and signal processing' will take place at 5.15 pm on Tuesday, December 2 in the Pugsley Lecture Theatre, Queen's Building, University Walk, Bristol.  It is free and open to everyone.

The talk will explore the impact that engineering implementation constraints have had on communications and signal processing over the last 21 years and how advances in technology have led to the exciting state we are in today: limited by imagination, not transistors or hertz.

Professor Joe McGeehan, Director of CCR, said: "We are delighted that David Burrows is able to join the CCR in our anniversary celebrations.

"The Centre has grown rapidly over the years and through consultation and collaboration with industry, the CCR delivers solutions to current and future market needs that are innovative, cost-effective and practical."

Professor David Burrows is Director of the UK Imaging Design Centre of Aptina UK Ltd, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Microelectronics Institute and a Visiting Professor at the University's Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
