Brian L. Heffner is an electrical engineer and fiber optics specialist at Hewlett-Packard who earned his doctorate at Stanford for research on acousto-optic switching mechanisms for optical fiber networks. Heffner received his undergraduate degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and his Hertz Fellowship in 1982, then completed his doctorate in electrical engineering at Stanford University. His dissertation addressed switchable optical fiber taps using the acousto-optic Bragg interaction, contributing to the foundational engineering of fiber-optic communications infrastructure. He has been associated with Hewlett-Packard in an engineering capacity.
