ECE Faculty Spotlight: Steven Bibyk

Reverse engineering is a method of analyzing a product or design and recreating it, rather than producing it from scratch. At an early age, Steven Bibyk discovered his passion for it. Before leaving for work each morning, his father removed vacuum tubes from the television so Bibyk and his siblings wouldn't watch it all day. The young Bibyk — now an electrical and computer engineering associate professor at Ohio State — figured out how to put the tubes in and remove them again before his father got home.
