Richard J. Przybyla

Richard J. Przybyla received a BSEE from Oregon State University in 2008 and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 2013. While Richie was at Berkeley, he and his colleagues demonstrated an ultrasonic 3D rangefinder system which fits on a chip. In 2013, Richie co-founded Chirp Microsystems, where he’s the system architect, with responsibility for CMOS mixed-signal design of the ultrasonic signal path and on-chip signal processing, firmware, and algorithms. In 2018, Chirp was acquired by TDK, and in 2019, Chirp took the CH101 airborne ultrasonic transceiver into mass production. He was inducted into the Oregon State University Council of Outstanding Early Career Engineers.
