He joined the faculty of the Computer Science and Engineering Department at the Oregon Graduate Institute in 1985 as an Associate Professor. In 1988 he founded Adaptive Solutions, Inc. which specialized in high performance silicon technology (the CNAPS chip set) for image processing and pattern recognition. He served as President from 1988-1990, and Chief Technical Officer until 1997. He returned to the Oregon Graduate Institute in 1997, where he was the Doug Strain Professor.
In 2004, Prof. Hammerstrom joined Portland State University, where he is a Professor in the ECE Department, and Associate Dean for Research in the Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science.
Dr. Hammerstrom was a Visiting Scientist at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden in 1979 and 1984, and has been an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks, the Journal of the International Neural Network Society (INNS), and the International Journal of Neural Networks. He has authored over sixty research papers and eight book chapters, and holds seven patents.
Dr. Hammerstrom was a Visiting Scientist at the NASA Ames Research Center in Mt. View California in 2000, and he is an Adjunct Professor in the IDE (Information, Computation, and Electronics) Department at Halmstad University, Halmstad, Sweden.
