Chris Dick, NVIDIA
Dr Chris Dick is a Senior Distinguished Engineer at NVIDIA working on the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning to 5G and 6G wireless. He is part of the team developing new tools and real-time over-the-air testbeds to enable the path from AI/ML simulation flows to real-time operation.
In his 35 years working in signal processing and communications he has worked on silicon and software products for 3G, 4G and 5G baseband DSP and Docsis cable access and vector processor architectures. His research is in the area of 6G architecture, ML model architecture, channel coding, design flows for GPU signal processing systems, digital front-end (DFE) technology for cellular systems with a particular emphasis on digital pre-distortion for power amplifier linearization. Chris has also worked extensively on silicon architecture and compilers for machine learning and parallel architectures.
Prior to moving to Silicon Valley in 1998 he was a tenured academic in Melbourne Australia for 13 years. He has over 250 publications and 100 patents. From 1998 to 2020 he was a Fellow and the DSP Chief Architect at Xilinx.
In 2018 he was awarded the IEEE Communications Society Award for Advances in Communication for research in the area of full-duplex wireless communication.
