Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnakha B is an Electronic and Algorithmic Researcher with 11 years of experience designing hardware-software co-design solutions for machine learning and imaging systems. Currently at KLA after a productive stint at Argonne National Laboratory, she has developed DL-accelerated edge data compression and ASIC-focused pipelines for coherent imaging and X-ray detectors. Her background spans academia and industry—from a PhD in Electrical Engineering and teaching computer architecture to benchmarking edge AI platforms at Micron and automating QA at Microsoft—giving her a rare blend of research depth and production-oriented engineering. She focuses on building hardware architectures that make ML algorithms more efficient in latency-, power-, and memory-constrained environments. Notably, her work synthesizes advanced optimization, ASIC design, and detector hardware, enabling interdisciplinary solutions that bridge lab-scale science and deployable systems. Based in New Jersey, she brings practical insights into translating novel ML models into implementable silicon and embedded platforms.
