Kurt Keutzer

[2] In 1991, he joined the electronic design automation company Synopsys, where he was promoted to chief technology officer.

[2] His research at Berkeley has focused on the intersection of high performance computing and machine learning.

Working with a number of graduate students at Berkeley, Keutzer developed FireCaffe, which scaled the training of deep neural networks to over 100 GPUs.

[5][6][7][8] Keutzer and his students also developed deep neural networks such as SqueezeNet, SqueezeDet, and SqueezeSeg, which can run efficiently on mobile devices.

[10] The firm was focused on developing deep neural networks for advanced driver assistance systems in passenger cars.
