Senior Scientist at Vaire Computing
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Frank is a senior scientist and engineer with deep academic roots (Stanford BS, MIT PhD) and over two decades advancing unconventional computing, particularly reversible and adiabatic CMOS technologies. He has blended top-tier research—NSF fellowship, ACM ICPC world-championship team, and influential dissertations on decision-theoretic AI and reversible computing—with applied R&D at Sandia National Labs and now Vaire Computing to commercialize low-energy computing. His career spans academia (UF, FAMU‑FSU), startup web development, and national-lab systems work, giving him a rare mix of teaching, instrumentation, and production-oriented engineering experience. Notably, he co-edited the Beyond CMOS chapter of the IEEE IRDS and has pursued projects across semiconducting and superconducting platforms, signaling both breadth and strategic influence in device-roadmapping. Based in Albuquerque, he combines theoretical rigor with practical commercialization drive, often operating at the intersection of physics-aware computing and system design.
