Dr. Bims is the inventor of 25 US patents related to wireless technology.
Prior to testifying as an expert witness, Dr. Bims has worked in the wireless industry as founder and CTO of a VC-backed startup that built campus-wide WiFi networks using the “Big MAC” architecture, as engineering VP of a startup building cellular networking infrastructure, and as tech lead at a startup building two-way pagers.
Dr. Bims holds three engineering degrees, all fully funded by engineering scholarships from AT&T Bell Laboratories; BS in Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, MS in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University.
