Federico Busato
Accelerating Sparse Linear Algebra at NVIDIA
Senior Software Engineer, IC5
I’m a Software Engineer at NVIDIA in Santa Clara, US (headquarter). I work in the CUDA HPC Math Library team and have been leading the Sparse Linear Algebra group for the past 6 years.
My interests outside sparse linear algebra include parallel computing, software optimization, and graph algorithms. I am also passionate about programming and software engineering, primarily in C++.
I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Verona, working on graph algorithms on GPUs. I spent some months as a visiting scholar at the Georgia Institute of Technology in the group of David Bader and I did an internship at NVIDIA.
I taught C++ professionally for 5 years in undergraduate and graduate courses. I maintain an open-access C++ course. My little dream is to go back to teaching at a university in the Bay Area.
Please feel free to contact me via email with any questions, ideas, or proposals for collaboration.
Please refer to the resume section for details about my career path, experience, and extracurricular activities.
