Senior🎓
Top SchoolGrigory Chirkov is a Senior Researcher at Microsoft in Vancouver with a decade of experience specializing in multi-chiplet architectures, cache subsystems, heterogeneous systems, and coherence protocols. He completed a PhD at Princeton, where he helped design and tape out two large coherent heterogeneous compute chips and led research on the challenges of scaling multi-chiplet systems. His industry experience includes internships at Apple and Intel, where he developed ML-driven cache-sharing optimizations and contributed to cycle-accurate core simulation and memory-subsystem performance features. Known for bridging deep academic research with practical silicon outcomes, he combines hands-on chip design, system-level architecture, and performance-driven tooling to tackle next-generation compute complexity.
