Summary
Anton Kovalov is a doctoral researcher and software engineer with eight years of experience at the intersection of computation, physics, and embedded systems. Based in Aachen, he has hands-on experience in FPGA and RISC-V softcore development, neuromorphic computing, and algorithmic differentiation of compiled programs, alongside product-grade embedded work and a creative Bitcoin Proof-of-Work experiment aimed at optical computing. His background blends aerospace and computational science with an MS in Simulation Science, enabling a systems-level approach to computational substrates and non-differentiable constructs. Anton’s work marries deep research curiosity—he questions whether the brain is computable—with practical engineering skills in hardware-software co-design and reverse engineering.
