I was part of the team that developed the very first self-driving car that won the DARPA-sponsored competition, which later became Google Waymo. The code we wrote inspired the creation of countless other self-driving companies. Two of my most popular books, Computer Vision and Learning OpenCV, have been translated into multiple languages around the world. As a long-time researcher and practitioner in computer vision and AI, with a Ph.D. in particle physics from Columbia University, I have also been an entrepreneur, founder, and executive leader in large institutions. Building institutions from foundation to completion is a passion of mine, and so is serving as an advisor to other large and small companies. I also advise the government in military and intelligence affairs. I went to college at 14 to stimulate my fascination with physics, computer science, and building robots. I went on to earn a Ph.D. in particle physics and built the fastest computer in the world at Columbia University. I am the founder and ex-CEO of Giant.Ai, a company that solves one of the most important problems in the world – a rapidly aging workforce – by creating humanoid robots that can do a variety of tasks, especially on manufacturing lines. Inside is a new groundbreaking AI that was developed by myself and the Giant team.

I'm a Senior Research Scientist in NVIDIA's Accelerators and VLSI Research Group. I have been writing and publishing research for about 20 years. Recent LLM projects include VerilogEval code gen eval benchmark and creation of ChipNemo. I have a background in circuits and near-threshold voltage scaling, and have expanded my focus to high-level synthesis methodologies (MatchLib, for Siemens EDA Catapult HLS) and LLMs for chip design in recent years. I currently am a member of the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) Digital Architecture and Systems (DAS) technical program committee and of the Accellera SystemC Synthesis Working Group.
