David G. Messerschmitt (born May 21, 1945) is an engineer and professor

METI (Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence)
.

Biography

His notable past research includes the advancement of digital transmission systems, including contributions that made

Ptolemy, which is still being actively developed and used. When the UC Berkeley School of Information
was created he co-founded courses on network applications and strategic technology, and later served as interim dean of the school. His research interests and curriculum development for the past decade have been largely devoted to the business of software and economics of the software industry.

Messerschmitt graduated with a

Ph.D. in computer, information, and control engineering from the University of Michigan in 1971. He was a Bell Labs
researcher until 1977, when he left to take an academic position at Berkeley.

In 1983, David Messerschmitt was elevated to the grade of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (

IEEE) fellow for contributions to the theory of transmitting digital waveforms on band-limited channels.[2]

In 1999 Messerschmitt received the IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal "for fundamental contributions to communications theory and practice, including VLSI for signal processing, and simulation and modeling software".[3] He was elected a member of the US National Academy of Engineering in 1990 for contributions to telecommunication theory and practice and to engineering education.

In 2007 Messerschmitt co-founded the Software business community (SWBC) in cooperation with the Helsinki University of Technology.
