Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHiroki Sato is an Assistant Professor and seasoned electrical engineer with 25 years’ experience in analog and mixed-signal VLSI design, holding a PhD and a long track record of full-custom IC implementations across TSMC processes down to 65nm. He pairs this hardware expertise with deep UNIX systems and kernel work—over 15 years contributing to FreeBSD, NetBSD and DragonFly BSD—and has served as a FreeBSD core team member and Foundation board participant. As founder of BSD Research and chairperson of AsiaBSDCon, he combines technical development with community leadership and project governance in open-source ecosystems. His roles in academia and industry span teaching, research in smart healthcare electronics, and government hardware certification advisory work, reflecting applied and regulatory perspectives. Notably, he blends CAD system administration and text-processing skills (SGML/XML) with IPv6 network-stack development, an uncommon cross-section of analog hardware and low-level networking software. Based in Chiba Prefecture, he continues to bridge research, open-source stewardship, and practical IC/system integration.
