Summary
Mark Ruzindana is an electrical and computer engineer specializing in digital signal processing, GPU-accelerated real-time systems, and radio astronomy instrumentation with over 10 years of experience. He has implemented high-performance CUDA beamformers and real-time RFI mitigation systems that accelerated observations by up to 64x and delivered multi-beam interferometry for MeerKAT and the VLA. His work spans system integration, low-latency C real-time OS development, Python user interfaces, and MATLAB post-processing, validated in field deployments from Green Bank to Hat Creek. As a recent UC Berkeley postdoc and long-time BYU researcher, he blends academic rigor with production-grade engineering—achieving sub-nanosecond time synchronization for distributed sensors and sparse-array RFI geolocation. Based in Oakland, he brings a rare combination of hands-on GPU optimization, antenna/wireless expertise, and active involvement in SETI-focused interferometry projects.
