I work with and lead teams focused on developing technology to enable Level 3 and Level 4+ autonomous driving systems. We are helping to make driverless vehicles a safe, reliable, and accessible reality through developing advanced technology in these areas:AI Compute platform: developing a new System-on-Chip (SoC)-based embedded compute platform so that we have a scalable, high bandwidth, low latency, low power, cost-optimized solution for L3 and L4 autonomous drivingNeural Processing Units: Designing dedicated neural network accelerator and SDK for processing ML workloads so that we have a neural network accelerator that meets the demands of L3 and L4+ autonomous driving in a variety of challenging operating environmentsPerception: Applying machine learning to process data from Radar, Camera, and Lidar sensors on dedicated neural processing units and embedded compute platforms so that autonomous vehicles have a better understanding of their surrounding environmentSensor Fusion: Researching and developing architectures that use machine learning with the combined data from multiple sensors to build a more accurate and resilient representation of an autonomous vehicle’s environmentAutonomous Vehicle Architecture: Working with teams of software engineers, hardware engineers, systems engineers, robotics engineers, machine learning engineers, data scientists to develop the next-generation architecture for L3vel 3 and Level 4+ autonomous vehicles
