Earl Levine was one of the technical leaders in the fields of streaming media, data compression, and audio watermarking technologies during the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s and onward, winning the prestigious Capocelli Prize for data compression in 1997.[1][2]

His PhD work at Stanford University was early in the field of artificial intelligence, creating vector quantized autoencoder convolutional neural networks.[3] He then invented the lossless audio codec method used in Apple Lossless Codec and FLAC, used to create the largest collection of lossless audio at the time.[4][5][6][7][8] He worked at VXtreme until its acquisition by Microsoft. Following that he worked for Liquid Audio. Liquid Audio's patent portfolio, almost all of which he invented or co-invented, was acquired by Microsoft in 2002.[9]

He is also known for his successful hobby of training race horses including Fleet Crossing who won the Churchill Downs, MSW [10][11]

He established one of the first shared neighborhood wi-fi systems in 2002 [12]

He graduated from Richardson High School in the same class as Carla Overbeck.

His son, Gabrael Levine, is the inventor of the Blackbird bipedal robot[13] and the preeminent developer of the OpenTorque actuator.[14]
