Senior🎓
Top SchoolAugusto Vega is a Research Staff Member at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center with eight years focused on power-aware computer architectures, acceleration chips, and embedded designs. He leads work on "swarm intelligence" or cloud-backed mobile cognition, applying it to autonomous vehicles, drones, wearables, mobile health, and other cyber-physical systems. Augusto has steered cross-disciplinary projects including the EPOCHS program and the Mayflower Autonomous Ship stack, chaired professional communities on computer systems design, and co-chaired ISCA 2024, reflecting influence beyond individual research. He holds a PhD in Computer Architecture from UPC and combines deep academic roots with practical R&D that has produced patents and peer-reviewed publications. Less obvious: he bridges low-level microprocessor design and full-stack domain-specific systems, making him comfortable moving from transistor-level power tradeoffs to deployed autonomous navigation platforms.
