Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBoris Bonev is a Senior Research Scientist at NVIDIA with nine years of experience bridging applied mathematics, numerical linear algebra and machine learning to solve large-scale scientific problems. He holds a PhD from EPFL where he developed linear-complexity solvers and numerical methods for wave and tsunami simulation, and at NVIDIA has led development of scalable ML models and model-parallel training across thousands of GPUs. His work includes creating Spherical Fourier Neural Operators and torch-harmonics for differentiable spherical harmonic transforms, applying physics-informed ML to weather and climate prediction. Boris combines deep theoretical rigor with production-facing engineering—contributing to high-performance open-source tooling for scalable scientific ML—bringing a rare fluency in both algorithm design and GPU-scale systems.
