Upon rejoining Intel in 1991, Brad Hosler was fortunate to begin work on the early definition of PCI, designing the Plug-and-Play configuration capabilities of PCI and then transitioning to the enabling first PCI products (focusing on the device side) and helping define and drive the PCI compliance program, which has become a BKM for compliance programs.
After PCI®, Brad worked on USB, again doing definitional work on the spec followed by industry enabling and setting up an industry sustained compliance program. This pattern was repeated again with USB 2.0, and Brad is currently doing it again with Wireless USB. Brad and his team have also done industry enabling and the compliance program for PCI Express® Gen I and are working on the same for Gen II.
Brad received a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from Bucknell University and a Masters degree in Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University. Brad is currently the chairman of the PCI-SIG®'s Serial Enabling Workgroup as well as WiMedia's Compliance and Interoperability Workgroup. Brad has twelve patents issued and is a frequent presenter at Intel Developer Forums.
