Nikola Nedovic joined NVIDIA Research in 2016. He received a Dipl.Ing. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Belgrade, Serbia, in 1998 and the Ph.D. degree from the University of California at Davis, in 2003. Before joining NVIDIA, he was a senior researcher and research manager at Fujitsu Laboratories of America, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, where he worked on circuits and systems for electrical and optical communications, and energy-efficient VLSI implementations of machine learning computing systems.

Dan Lustig joined NVIDIA Research in December 2015.  He works in the area of computer architecture, with a particular focus on system architecture, memory system design, and memory consistency models.  His PhD thesis focused on specifying and verifying microarchitectural enforcement of memory models.

Dan received his PhD from Princeton in November 2015 under the supervision of Margaret Martonosi.  He received his MA from Princeton in 2011 and his BSE from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009.  He also received an Intel PhD Fellowship in 2013.

Brian Zimmer joined the Circuits Research Group in NVIDIA Research in 2015.  His research interests are in energy-efficient digital design, with an emphasis on low-voltage SRAM design and variation tolerance.

Walker Turner joined the Circuits Research Group at NVIDIA in August 2015.

Nathaniel Pinckney received his PhD from David Blaauw’s research group at the University of Michigan in 2015. His research focused on near-threshold characterization of planar and FinFET devices, and fast voltage boosting. Prior to UM he worked for two years in Sun Microsystems’ VLSI Research group (presently Oracle Labs). His undergraduate degree is from Harvey Mudd College, where he was advised by David Money Harris.

Sanquan Song joined NVIDIA Research in 2015. He completed his Ph.D in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His area of research is high-speed links for high-speed computing and analog/mixed signal circuits. He has previously worked at Samsung Display America Lab from 2013 to 2015, focusing on the SerDes for large display panels; and at Intel Hudson from 2010 to 2013, developing  DDR/VMSE PHY on Intel server chips. 

Mike Sullivan is a senior research scientist in the Architecture Research Group, working out of Austin, TX. His main research interest is the design of efficient, secure, and dependable large-scale computer systems. Specifically, he has studied system-level reliability modeling with cross-layer coordination, strong memory system protection, low-cost pipeline protection, and efficient and reliable application-specific acceleration. He received a PhD in computer architecture from the University of Texas at Austin under the tutelage of Mattan Erez and Earl E.

Ward Lopes is a Sr. Research Scientist who works on display research. His main research interests are applications of dynamic, computer generated holography and holographic optical elements in virtual-, augmented-, and mixed-reality. Prior 2015, Ward focused on self-assembly processes in soft condensed matter and applications of holography in optical micromanipulation and microscopy.
