John S. Bird received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering in 1973 from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Carleton University, Ottawa, ON, Canada, in 1980.
He worked for the Defence Research Establishment Pacific, Victoria, BC, from 1973 to 1981, where he was engaged in signal processing and detection studies related to passive sonar. From 1981 to 1987, he continued these studies but in the context of land- and space-based surveillance radars while on loan to the Communications Research Centre from the Defence Research Establishment Ottawa. During this time, he also worked in the area of satellite spread spectrum communications. He is currently with the School of Engineering Science at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, BC, where his research interests include signal processing, underwater acoustics, sonar, autonomous underwater vehicles, and ocean exploration.
