Brown studied at Harvard University, graduating in 1968 with George Mackey as his advisor and thesis entitled On the Structure of Locally Compact Groups. He was a professor at Purdue University until his retirement.
With Peter A. Fillmore and Ronald G. Douglas, he developed the Brown-Douglas-Fillmore theory in the theory of operator algebras based on techniques of algebraic topology.
